HENRY VIII.

A.D. 1517.
1 Jan.. 274L Clabgkcieux to Dacre and MAamrs.

. S- vi- 1 84. Has delivered Wolsey's letter to Albany. Two days after

O. :m. showed him the confirmation under the King's seal. He is well

pleased because his going by the King's grace towards France was
not specified in the letters confirmatory. Has in the meanwhile
urged the cause of Queen Margaret according to commandment.
Encloses the answer. This morning, when it was urged by the
Duke, in the presence of the Chancellor of Scotland, the Arch-
deacon of St. Andrew's, the Abbot of Dryburgh, Sir William Scot
and De la Bastyc, that the agreement between Albany and the
Cardinal should be ratified without addition by the Kings of
England and Scotland, they objected that the estates had already
agreed to it, " saving that his goiug by the King's grace towards
France was not therein mentioned," and another article for the
Queen of Scots' passage into these parts. The Duke, however,
persuaded all of them, except the Archdeacon of St. Andrew's, who
at last consented. The Duke is sending to the King his lieutenant
De la Fayette, and Gawtyer his secretary ; thence La Fayette is
to pass in to France and bring hither twelve gentlemen to wait
on the Duke in his passage through England. Knew nothing of
Albany's writing, as stated in Dacre's letter. If Dacre will seud a
diligent servant to London, Clarencieux doubts not that he shall
return speedily with the King's pleasure, as soon as Clarencieux
has seen the Cardinal. Albany has renewed all his great oaths to
keep his promise with the King. Begs to be recommended to
my Lord of Graystoke, my ladies your daughters, and " Master
Sir Christopher Dacre." " Written at Edinburgh, this New Year's
Day at night, and delivered to Robard Kerres the second day of
January."

News from France.

Letter from a spy (Beaughienville) employed in France, received
at Calais 1 Jan. 1616. Has received ten crowns this month of
December, which he is told is for the month of January. Complains
of his poverty, and says : " Jo mengus mon ble en herbe." After
Christmas the King will start for Paris, thence for Cambray,
where the Archduke is expected, and their alliance will be renewed.
The object is unfavorable to Wolsey, as they intend to take away
Tournay. All the gentlemen of the Household are to be in readi-
ness to start. Sends him a book, in which Wolsey will see " de
belles choses," which may be of use to him. " II est imprime avee
ce on pourra a jamais le recouvrer par les dates au regis tres a
Romme a peu que le libraire nen a este bien pugny on les a tous
cachez affin quon ne les voye en la fin du livre. Vous y verrez de
belles choses et au commencement." Does not see how the dif-
finitive between the two Princes is to be discovered. They do not
meet [without] cause. If the Council do not change the assembly

it will be at the said and the Archduke will come hither.

Vit. B. III. 103. The news which he wrote to him of the death of the Sultan, and

B. M. victory of the Turks, has proved trno, and all the hopes are gone

which Christendom might have had from that quarter. The counsels
which he had urged for an attack upon the Turk have been urged
to deaf ears. Should a limb be lopped from Christendom, all hopes
of a general expedition would be at an end. The Turk Avill daily
become more terrible, and resistance will be vain. Has already given
warning of the danger hanging over Pannonia and Illyria; and if
England will not lend aid, they and all the maritime states of
Christendom will be exposed to the enemy, who has a fleet of 200
galleys. Begs him to consider carefully what must be done, and
despatch his ambassador to Rome, or another ambassador, to take
part in the discussion. fSends a Dominican Friar [Fra. Nicolas.]

K. O. Has learned from Bonocorso the commission given him. Had

been expecting a letter for the last six days, and sent Bonocorso
to signify the Emperor's hope and the wish of Madame that the
writer ahould visit his majesty. Has not failed in any part of his
duty. Thinks that this procrastination (hoc supersedere) has arisen,
not from the Emperor or Madame, but from the enemies of his ma-
jesty; " et ut cognoscatis si »it veruni quod sua majestas sit decep-
tus ex Anglia et ab uno Anglico natural!, majestas Regis est avisata
ex omni re illud reportavit dominus Prevost Du Trech (of Utrecht)
et sic vidi ego et a capitulo in capitulo bene scirem dicere." Thinks
his majesty will have wit enough to understand him. J Will wait
for his resolution till Thursday.

Told John de la Schau, when he was there, much news of Eng-
land, who wondered how he could discover them; "et omnia ex sua
majestate et de Madama venerunt qui in Anglia magis se fidunt."
Robertet came to Compiegne, expecting that Sion would be at
Carobray, as agreed upon by the writer and De la Schau. Will not
fail, on pain of his life, to visit him when required. Would bo glad
to see him here or at Valenciennes. " Et si fortassis voluissent de
me copertorium facere, promitto vobis quod res erit ])nrvi funda-
menti." If there is any doubt of his statements, let De la Schau
or some other come, and he will furnish him with a safeconduct to
the King, who will conflrm all he has written. Is afraid {duhito

Calig.B.yi.226. Magnus and Clarencieux were at Harbottle at the receipt of

fi. M. Wolsey's letters dated Durham Place, 11 Dec. Gave Clarencieux

advice for his journey to Albany. Made none privy but Magnus
to the King's letters for the prorogation of the peace. Sent a
servant to Edinburgh on Christmas Eve. Got no news till the
29th, when a servant of the Lord Maxwell delivered him a letter
from the Duke, dated Edinburgh the 27th ult., expressing his in-
tention to send to the King of England, and inquiring if the diet
should be held on 24 Jan. Was answered in general terms, and wrote
to Clarencieux, complaining of their lack of intelligence. Enclose
the Duke's letter and answer, the letter to Clarencieux and answer.
Will remain together till they hear the King's pleasure by the
present messenger. Had received an answer from the Council of

the Emperor and the Venetians. Went to the Cardinal to leam
the details. He said he hud no news, and that no letters had reached
him ; which was false. Sebastian told him that Courtville had left
in tlie name of the Emperor to effect the surrender of Verona. He
seemed to receive this as if he were aware of it; and he and the
Bp. of Durham endeavored to persuade Sebastian it was all owing
to the league. Makes a show of believing them, as their friendship
is of great importance to Venice. London, 6 Jan. 1517.

evening, about seven o'clock, had audience along with Sion, the
[Cardinal] of Gource alone being present. Sion declared the
contents of Wolaev's letter, so far as ho had before decided was
requisite, considering that since the date of it Wolsey had seen
many letters from both of them to himself and Henry, giving as full
news a^ possible. *' For your grace may be sure that though his

follow his counsel he doubted not but all will go well; of which
Wingfield always assures him conformably to the King's and Wolsey's
letters. He theu asked about their journey, and discussed the safest
and l)est route from this. No decision was come to; but Wingfield
thinks he will avoid the nearest way, i.e. by Luxemburg, Marche,
and Namur, because it is dangerous and scant of provision, and go
straight to Aeon and Mastryk. Had it not been necessary to unpack
and remedy the injury done to their baggage by the marvellous
great waters, the Emperor would have set out today. He desires
that the ambassadors sent out from Henry may remain at Berghis
until ho send them word where he will meet them. He has written,
as Marroton has informed them, to the Lord Bergls for their good
entertainment. Makes an [end] because [Sion] writes very fully.

very ready ^ as he wrote last. If the English ambassadors have
not yet crossed^ they should go to Herges, After tomorrow the
Emperor goes by Aix or Luxemburg to Xamur for Brussels ; will
not be entertained at the palace of the King Catholic^ but proceed

B. Ji. />awy tcith my Lord Chamberlain on special embassy to France ;

the Emperor repairing in the first place to Tournay, where they are
to wait till they hear from him at what place they shall meet him.
Informed Chievres that he must depart '; and on asking when he
would take his leave, was told that Richmond should return next
day to learu the King's pleasure. A severe frost set iu that night ;
and the King having taken the opportunity to go out hunting that
morning, Tunstal was appointed to wait upon him this day. Told
him of the above. " After going apart, the By[8hop of Badajoz,
Dr. ?] Motta, supplying the place of the Chancellor, which is sick,"
told him the King would do whatever Henry wished, and would
have been glad for Tunstal to stay. Tunstal stated that a resident
would be sent, and went to the Chancellor to take leave, who told
him that, on the 24th, Felynger and other ambassadors of the
Emperor and the King of Castile would meet at Cambray, where
nothing should be done prejudicial to England. He said the
Emperor would be there about the end of the month. He believed
that the ambassador to be sent to England would please the King ;
that the Pope had written to say that Charles could not admit the
clause. Tunstal said if there were no other treaty between them
and France than what England knew of, ho could not understand
the objection ; that the Pope had declared toUhe King's friends he
fully approved of the clause, " I meant the letters of the Cardinal

the suspicions of Chievres and the Chancellor^ if the ambassadors
did not come hither ; and that the King had written to the Em-
peror and the Cardinal of Sion to inform her of the Emperor's
pleasure^ that she might send word to Toumay, Urged her to
write herself to the Emperor, which she promised to do. She says
the governors urge that the Emperor is willing to confirm the peace
with France ; hut she is convinced he will not do so except with
the consent of England; and she told the governors so her-
self Tunstal replied^ that Henry* s chief confidence was in her
for that matter. She answered that the Emperor would not deceive
Henry, although " he had condescended to such preamble as he yet
had done, for his more sure coming down; that he were not
empe[ched] unto he come hither ; and that now he was on this side
Trever, and would within ten dalys"] be in this country,** and had
sent for men at arms to meet him on the way. Nevertheless she
thought he might come by a tcay that no one expected.

Told her that, fOiccording to her letter sent to him two days before,
he had written to caution Henry against the ambassador of Arragon
now sent to England, but, Tunstal regretted he had fallen out of
her favor, having formerly been one of her staunch supporters, and
begged her to remember what sort of persons it was who spread
evil reports about him. She said she • took no notice of such
reports, either during the life of his late master or after his death,
fill his deeds declared him ; that the governors had reproached
her with such practices as she had against them in deed, which led
her to suspect, first her servants, afterwards Andreas de Burgho
the Emperor* s ambassador, whom she caused to be recalled, after-
wards Lord Berghes, but she felt convinced it was the ambassador
of Arragon, who had of late been advancing many who were out of
favor with his old master, and that Chievres and he had walked
together three hours alone, of which he did not give her a satis-
factory explanation, and that they were only sending him to abuse
Henry as he had abused her, intending to recal the Bishop because
he had exceeded his commission.

Has heard the ambassador speak as strongly of my Lady*s conduct
in divulging secrets, and he will doubtless confirm what Tunstal
wrote of my Lady's changing. Advises the King to give him a
hearing without saying anything of the governors, who would not
have sent him, had they not been pretty sure of him. Thinks he
must be changed, as he actually left two days ago ; or, if not he,
the I^ady Margaret, Perhaps despair of better times has driven
him to it. He has many Spanish friends in office. On the coming
of the Emperor it will be seen whether the Lady Margaret is
altered or the ambassadors,* Took leave of the Lady Margaret

together^ and his servants are always about, and know Fowler, Jiad
persuaded him to go out sporting at Malines or Antwerp^ that he
might have an interview with the ambassador of Arragon at
Lovaine before his departure. Left Richmond behind him to
receive the money of Fowler, who came three days after their

Had arranged to visit the ambassador of Arragon to learn the
reason of the Archduchess* displeasure against him, and of this
peace with France. He appointed Midines the 12th, when he
sent an excuse, and broke his a[)[H)intnient many times. Thinks
he will not sec Tunstal " for the displeasure of these governors."
Remits him to the King's letters. Returning to Brussels found
the King's and Wolsey's letters ordering him to go to Tour nay.
His letters to the King will explain his movements. Will not fail to
accomplish his commands of the 2oth, touching the other 10,000 fl.,
without difficulty, if Sion will write in the form that fFolsey
proposes. Thanks him for 100/. ; begs he may be reimbursed 50

F[renchman], which the Governor of the Fellowship of the Mer-
chants brouglit to y . . ., liecause he j)romised he would bring to
my knowledge things right necessary to be known." He has
returned, and tells Tunstal he has been at Mese in Lorraine, He
says he has spoken with a person that will serve the King's pur-
pose touching Richard de la Pole, As he will neither go to
England, nor give up his name, thinks there is no use in him, and
ho is only a spy for the French. Will light shy of him, unless
Wolsey order otherwise. Wishes that Lord JMounfjoy knew him.

B^ M. says that Richard de la Pole lives no longer at Metz, but at a place

"belonging to Sir Nyclas Wev, broder-in-law to the Lord Reux,
within two legys of the cytte." The dean of the King's chapel has
been ordered to Cambray for Tuesday next, on business concerning
the bishopric. Chievres and the Chancellor will depart in six days
to meet the Grand Master of France on the 20th, and discuss, as it
is thought, concerning Verona. They are not yet fully agreed. My
Lord Reux Provost of Lovnin, brother of Hans Renner, and Casius,
went into France on Friday last, with such charge as Spinelly
has already written. The Bp. of Puris and other, sent to take the
Emperor's oath, reached Namur on the 7th. The maistre d'hotel
Mocron has been sent to conduct them. They will probably meet
the Emperor at Treves or at Brussels ; so the French will have
no opportunity for an audience. Fyllynger and Cortavylle are
expected.

The Master of the Posts told him they have had little dis*
patch from the Emperor, and if the King would take that resolu*
tion in his affairs^ which reason dictates, though the generality
have little hope. Expected much from the presence of the Car-

Verona cannot be saved. This may be done if the Emperor will
use his authority. News has arrived that the suite of the Bp. of
Paris had arrived at Namur on the 7th. The Bishop, with the
Sieur of Tornou, was at Mons in Hainault. The Audiencer was
appointed to go to ChievreSy and the Chancellor to Cambray^ hut
declined on the score of indisposition. He does not believe the
Emperor will be there, although the others assert it. The Bp. of
Colonna has been advertised by a gentleman of Na8[sau]y one of the
rebels, that a proposal has been made for a marriage between the
Pope's nephew and the King of Navarre's sister, and waits only for
the consent of France. Don Pedro Correo is expected to demand
the Lady Elianora in marriage for his master of Portugal, and will
probably succeed, as he is well provided with money, Dr, Motta,
Bp, of Badagios, has been deprived of his charge in Castile and
Arragon, which has been transferred to Quintana, principal
secretary to the late King of Arragon.

Refers him unto Mr. Vice-chancellor for the news touching De la
Nuca coming to England. Lord Berghes is on ill terms with the
Archduchess respecting this embassy, who takes it very ilj^ ''persisting
upon light reports in her opinion." " The charge thereof is totally
laid unto the governor of Bressc, who is the cause that few or none
wol intend in no matter of importance with her (their ?) mistress."
The Lord Nassau was near being made a prisoner by the partizans
of the Duke of Gueldres at Utrecht in Holland, whither he had
gone to persuade the people to accept the Admiral for their Bishop.
The Count de Gary ate had no better answer than the Bp. of Colonna
, touching the new amity. Marraton says that the term for the deli-
very of Verona expires within eight days, Brussels, 11 Jan. 1516.

Spinelly that he heard from a French spy, a man of low stature, with
a red beard and a grey hermit's habit, then going into Gueldres, that
the French were preparing a fleet in Normandy and Britanny
to send the White Rose into Scotland in the March following, and
conunence war with England ; that at the same time they intended
sending an army against Toumay, where they had many friends,
and a body of German troops into Scotland. This spy said he
was a nobleman, and had been with the French at the battle of
Ravenna.

the two Cardinals there, and giving [the ambassadors] the choice
of passage to this place by land or water, i,c. cither to go by the
Mwselle to Covalence, and after [by] the Rhine, or by land, using
the lodgings ho had assigned. The Cardinal Gurck, who has been ill
for this year past, the Pope's ambassador, and M. Jamys de Banissis,
wished to go by water, both for [comfort and] quick passage, " by
mean of the sw[ollen] flood, which was then greatly enforced by

the great habun(l[ance] of rain that fell but late before." Wingfield
induced the Cardinal Sedunensis to follow his coun8[eI]» and arrived
hero with him, " with such commodity as [the excessive] cold and
marvellous hard and perilous way would graunt ; where our said
company are not likely to arrive here in [many] days ; for the 9th
day of this month, on which day we [startedl from Treevyrs, the

with frost and flakes of ice, which descended [the river] by force of
the flood, that they could neither proceed [nor retur]ne, but with

great danger and travel attained de where they might best

areeche the same." All their horses and carts had gone in Wing-
field's train, and nearly reached this town. To-day, hearing of their
mischance, their servants with their baggage went back to them.

Informed the Emperor, who lodged last night within a Dutch
mile. Since their arrival Sion has received a letter from Marroton,
written by the Emperor's command, which Wingfield encloses.
The danger of frost will delay the Emperor's diligent desceni.
Till he hears the ambassadors are together again he will stay at
Dwre, " as the good pastor which will not leave any of his flock in
preede to the wolf and his adherents, which, as the world goeth
now, doth show himself as tretableas a sheep; which in no wise doth
so appear by any change of his nature, but rather by an astute and

field] in cipher. Delivered forthwith those addressed to Sion.

When he had deciphered his own **joynyd but

easily with mine old cyin, which have [lost somewhat] of their
perfection by mean of cold and often writing .... sith in seven
years past I have not made any servant of my[ne] privy to such
matter " as I have written to or received from the King and his
C[ouncil] ; and he does not intend to do so henceforth. Apologises
for not writing in cipher. During these seven years none of his
letters have miscanied, as i^ay be seen, if it be observed how [they]
" be chained together." Does not know if all those from homo
have reached him, for they do not use the same form as he.

This time he also writes to the King, and Sion is writing very
fully to Wolsey. Thanks Wolsey for his advice and favor. " The
orderly discourse contained in your most gracious letters is greatly
to be lauded." Hopes through his own letters, and those of Car-
dinal Sion, the King and Wolsey know by this time as much as
they themselves do ; " but if wo would clearly set aside the inward
perfection of the Emperor wliich he hath declared unto us, part
by express words, and part by manifest signs, more amply than
to any man alive, and follow the outward signs, which indeed be
much apparent to the enemies purpose." Has no doubt the Em-
peror adopts this course " to the inteut he may the more surely con-
vey himself to execute the desired obviation, and to lead everything
pertinent to the same, by such paths as may least appear to the

the contrary "ben etiens or misincensyd by

aformefrj both the King and you to set aside all

su8p[icion and believe] verily that as much as may be possible for
[us to] do shall be done by the said most reverend Sedunensis [and
me]." Is sure Sion will work as diligently to save his master's
honor] as he himself to save his own honor and life. Knows well
that the Emperor will not di8[cover] all his mind to the Cardinal
or to him ; " but will conser[ve] the same till it may come into the
forge, where it shall may not only take the convenient heat that may
proceed [of] personal speech and ventilation, also take the right and
desired form which the good Prince hath sought a long season, as

who saith, through fire and water with such a p as hath

not been oft seen in other princes." Sion has applied his great
powers to the weal of Christendom and the honor of the Emperor
and [Henry]. Though Wiugfield put the Emperor first, " because
of his mai[e8tie and] age," is sure that Henry is chief [in his]

mind " as the flourishing branch upon which is that the

wealth of Christendom shall preserved." Has

forborne to write what had been said to Sion in answer to that
which he had purposed in the King's name, believing that Sion's
own writing would be better regarded and credited than his.
Regrets that so little trusts has been given to what he has written
in so many letters since he was last with the King. Nevertheless
will continue to give true intelligence, and desires that any negli-
gence of which he may bo suspected may be intimated to him.

Sends copies of the answers given by them and [the Swiss].
They were made ^^communi [con]*i7io et consensu*' to alarm
the Swiss, as the case demanded ; so that Pace made it appear
as if their aid was of no moment. This was done by advice of
the Emperor. The French King has lately written " [hi]dre

taine[d : that he] should not fear onythy[ng]

[Pace] to Wolset— coii^.

Cannot tell what to say abont the " perfect peace,** he hears such
contrary reports. Trusts the King knows exactly how the
matter stands. As to the commission of the Emperor's ambas-
sadors, the French King does not write the truth. I have seen their
new commission, assigned by the Emperor's own hand, very sub-
stantially made and as well to [the pjurpose as could be devised,
and they ♦ ♦ ♦ hys last letters doth write th[at] . • . •

• • • to bring the Emperor in

to make a perfect co[nclusion of the things] treated betwixt

him [the King Catho]lic and the said Emperor, and [to

bring] this matter to a good and perfec[t conclusion], he will
spare for no sum of [money] that shall be demanded by the Em-
pTeror].** Hears from my Lord of Worcester from Rome that the
Pope will join the new league as soon as he is required by the
King's letters, who also writes "one other thing, whereof I can

the King's highne]sse 60,000 ducats, wherefore send

one unto him as well tayne upon that desire, as the . . .

. . e of such chapters as were con [clu]didde between them at the
said [Kilng's being in Italy."

Also the French King writes that he is trying for a close alliance
with England. He has commanded the Bastard to return to France
to be present at the approaching settlement between the Emperor,
himself and the K. rCa]tholic. The Bastard is [deplarted hence

the 13th day of this [present mon]the. "The Swiss be

contented • • • jn^ with the said French King

take of him as mochey and for to here a perfect

expedition to be made for the recovering of the duchy of Milan^ at

which we shall la^ih no men; as I am ad[vertisedl

secretly by differs good cantons [that] the whole cantons hath
made lately their cries through all their country that [no] soldier
shall go to the French King, sub poena c[apitis ?] et amissione
omnium bonorum," because the Bastard tried to get them by
crafty means. Henry must beware of trickery at the meeting of
the Emperor and the French King, for all things are full of deceit,
et Judas non dormit. The Emperor must not leave except he be
satisfied.

The French King has sent into this country . • c. m. crowns
in part payment ♦ ♦ ♦ crowns. " The city of

Milan [hath] undertaken to pay one hundred thou[sand crowns

of the s]aid sum, and the residue hath paid 50,000."

Cardinal Sion tells him not to be moved with any[th]ing he hears of
the Emperor's negotiations with France. He says that everything
will succeed well. Hopes so, for he has heard today that the
French King has in his hands the ratification of the peace made
between the Emperor and himself, with letters from the Emperor
approving all that has been done therein by the King Catholic.
Advises Wolsey from time to time of all occurrences here, so that
he " may the better provide for all [contingencies] where he is.

B. H. the Cardinal of Sion wrote to Wolsej; and whereas he had stated

the Emperor would be at Maestrich this daj, — he arrived yester-
day, and was received by a great company, on horseback and foot,
with torches, and cries of the people ; ''for all the streets and win*
dows were filled with men and women, notwithstanding, I trow, a
colder weather was never seen than hath continued these twelve
days past, nor a more perilous horseway .'^ This day at eight he and
the Cardinals attended the Emperor &t the great church, and after
he had heard high mass "the holy head [of St.] Sarvace was
shown unto him, with a marvellous [crojsse made of the cross of

Christ, and a key of s with many other notable relics."

The Emperor delivered a letter to Cardinal Gurcke for the writer
and Sion to consult upon. At their audience the Emperor, in reply
to Sion, said he would consult with Gurcke, and let them have his
answer, saying the King would have reason to be content if he
would follow the Emperor's advice, as the King Catholic had
agreed to do. Had written to the Lord Chamberlain to come to
Brussels in haste. The Bp. of Paris is already at Louvain. The
Emperor had taken this way, and left that of Namur, to the intent
that if the English ambassadors had come straight to Bruges as he
desired, he should have more convenience to speak with them
before the Bishop. The Emperor, however, is whole and sound,
and the two Cardinals well disposed to England. Expects shortly
to visit England. Maestrich, 20 Jan. 1517.

Ady. MS. 448. them to join the peace made with England, 5 April 1514. For

some months peace was kept, but the English were always seeking
occasion to break it, by harboring rebels, he. Ambassadors were
sent to England, and effected a truce till last St. Andrew's Day.
They also came to an agreement about the Queen's rights. The
truce was prolonged, on the 24th July, until the Feast of St. John,
with juster terms, and was ratified by the King of England on
31 Dec., and, in accordance with the wishes of the King of Den-
mark, prolonged still further, until next St. Andrew's Day. The
English, however, refused to abide by it or to return the docaments,
excusing their conduct by the demands of the Scotch Queen.
The Council then yielded to her demands more than was just, as
will be seen by a copy of the grant enclosed, in addition to the
letters sent to the King and Cardinal Now that the English are
again proceeding to use force, and have prevented the Danish am-
bassador from coming to Scotland or sending his letters, wishes

K. O. Is glad his conduct has met with the King's approval in repress-

ing the rebels. Thanks Wolsey for befriending him and his friends
in England. The gan'ison is in good order. Begs to be recalled
before Easter. His departure from England was so sudden that he
left his aflairs unsettled. Hears they are much worse by his
absence. Some of the garrison here are more fit than he to superin-
tend the making of citadels. On the King's former letters to him-
self and the Lord Chamberlain, he had sent most of his baggage into
England, and has no provision for his house. Understands Wolsey
has been good to him in the matter of the wools between his father
Kebill and John Mondy, executors of Alderman William Browne.
Begs Sir Richard Wingfield may be ordered to release the wools

thanks are due for his services. John Sellier is going over with my

Mountjoy valuable information. Begs he may be sent back shortly.

24 Jan. 2821 The Earl of Worcester and Tunstal to Henry VIII.

GaDw, B. T. 23. Beceived letters yesterday from Sir Robert Wingfield and from

B. H. Dr. Knight, now resident with the King of Castile. The former

states that the Emperor, after resting six or seven days at Maestrich,
will proceed to Brussels, and wishes them to visit the King of Cas-
tile first, and accompany him to Louvain. Knight states that he
had sent Richmond to my Lady, who had received no answer from
the Emperor touching her coming. Afterwards she sent Knight a
letter, copy enclosed, stating it was Henry's pleasure they should
address themselves first to the King of Castile. They marvel how
he should know that. Tomorrow they repair to Bruges for that
purpose. Tho ambassadors of France have made t»uit to liave an
audience with the Emperor, and are to wait for him at Mechlin.
Tonmay, 24 Jan.

P.S. — Enclose a letter from Knight, stating that the Emperor
did not stay at Maestrich as Wingfield said he would. Wished to
know, as he is so near, whether they should resort to him first or
his nephew. Think it strange that the King of Castile's Council
make more fuss about the obsequies of the old Queen of Naples now
dead, sister to the late King of Arragon, than the meeting with his
natural grandfather now living and coming so far to see him. Signed*

24 Jan, 2822. Sir Ror Wingfield to Henry VIII.

R. O. Wrote last on the 21st from Maestrich, stating that the Em-

peror would leave next morning betimes, which he did along with
both Cardinals and all the ambassadors into the land of Liege.
They lodged at a town of the Bishop's, called Tungyes, his Majesty
going three miles further to a town called Centroyne, of which ono
half belongs to the Bishop, the other to the Abbot. On the 23rd
Wingfield and the two Cardinals removed to Leew and the Em-
peror to Theyne otherwise called Tyllemont, where he remained
yesterday. They passed on to Arscot, where he has commanded
them to remain. Writes no more, as he is sending to Wolsey a
letter from Sion signed both by him and Wingfield. Arscot, 24 Jan.

1517.

P.S. -^ust l>efore closing received the enclosed from James
Fugger, written in Italian. Has had several several such requests
before, and had always answered that though the 6,000 Rh. fi. were
not in the hands of the Archduchess, he doubted not she would
satisfy him soon. Marvels at the long delay, seeing the money was
so necessary for the Emperor's descent into these parts. Begs, if
the sum be not yet assigned, that the King will provide it. In
binding himself as Henry's ambassador for the said sum bad acted
only to frustrate the designs of the Emperor's enemies, for the non-
payment would have given them an advantage. To counteract their
venom Sion had written to the King and Wolsey that he was ready

money. On the departure of my Lord Lieutenant and his wife on
the 22nd, there were also discharged .... horse and foot; on the
24th, 100 soldiers. Next month will discharge others, to the number
of 490 in all, which will be sufficient, considering the number of
foreign artificers that will have to be called in for the works. The
order for paying the soldiers every three months has been carried
out by some management, many being in very needy circumstances,
who have been accommodated with loans tUl next payment. De-
sires to have for this purpose 1,000/. between payments. The
Council of the city are sending a deputation to the King, with
certain articles, of which he hopes to forward a copy. My [Lord

B. O. The letter which he sends to the King will inform him of what

For lack of the letters promised to be sent to the Chapter and
Council, Mountjoy and he, before the departure of the former, com-
muned " afar off with the Council of the town " to see what they
would do for the King's works. They offered fifty laborers for ^\e
or six months ; but the petty provost, John Thorow, who is the
greatest stickler, is to have an interview with the King, when
Jerningham hopes he will be sharply handled. The provost and
his company expect to find friends in England, as they are carrying
four or five pieces of tapestry work to the Duke of Suffolk. They
must offer 400 laborers a day for four months. Sends a copy of a

prepared and made." The Emperor is within, seven leagues of

that direction. **0f the King's removing there is no mention,
neither of the going to Cambray." The Emperor is expected at
Brussels on Wednesday or Tuesday. Some say he shall go to
Mechlin or Antwerp.

** Sire, The coming of Sedtmensis, as I am informed, pleaseth
nothing : for he is taken for a great wise man, and not for a friend
unto the governors. Those that have been sent from hence to the
Emperor ben the Admiral, the Bailly of Amonte and Mr. John
Hannart ; and yesterday the Chancellor of the Bp. of Cambray
showed of a surety that the great Chancellor should go this morning
unto Haulx, to mitte the Emperor ; and since I heard the same oj
another. But now his Majesty is at Diest wer clearly contrary,
wherefore the same Chancellor must change his proposi[tion'\. The
Lord Berghes is commanded to come to the court, but he put the
matter in delay for to see in the mean season how the world shall
go ; concluding unto your grace, if here lack money, whatsoever the
Cardinal Sedunensis or any other doeth, in vanum laborant. Sire,
for the necessity shall compel the Emperor against his will to agree
with the Frenchmen. And as for to believe that he will take the
authority and rule on his own hands, as the reason hath of long

it." Brussels, 26 Jan.

Galba, B. v. 29. Left Tournay on the 25th, intending to visit the King of Castile

B. M. on their way to the Emperor. On the 26th arrived at Aws and

waited there till they had news from my Lady whether the
Emperor would persist in his first purpose, and desiring to know
where the Emperor was. As the answer was very ambiguous they
thought it best to follow the Emperor's first ordinance, and arrived
at Brussels the 27th. They sent Norroy to him, as he had left
Diest for Toumowe, to know where they should meet him, and to
Chievres to know when they should have an audience of the King
of Castile. The next day the Chamberlain informed the King
they had been commanded to repair to the Emperor and con*
gratulate the King on coming into his countries. He returned a
gracious answer, saying, this amity was for the advantage of both.

On the Chamherlaiu saying he had other matters to communicate,
the Chancellor came to them apart, and asked whether they were
such as he would show openly or require a private audience. They
stated they were charpjcd to demand the confirmation of the amity
between Charles, the Emperor and the King of England. Remem-
bering the obstinate mind of the councillors in refusing the con-
firmation to Tnnstal and to Knight, thought best to make their
request to the King, in order that the governors should thinh this
was their chief reason for repairing to the Emperor ; and to avoid
all suspicion. Dr. Tunstal then stated that a treaty had been
made in November last between the Emperor, England and
Castile, the confirmation of which had been more than once denied
them, and it was contrary to his honor to refuse it. The King
answered that he would do all that in honor he could, but would
first take the Emperor's advice, as he had told Dr. Knight. They
then repaired to Lady Margaret to tell her that, as the Emperor had
now come down to these parts to take in hand the remedying of
these matters that were now in train^ " to which your Grace not
only had hearkened chiejly at her procuring^ but also advanced
right large sums of money to the Emperor for the purpose afore^
saidy^^ they trusted she would urge the Emperor to remedy these
abuses, and tell him that all ihQ promises made to the Cardinal of
Sion should be fully accomplished ; which she promised to do. They
then asked her where he was. She answered at Lyre, but she
could not say whether they should repair to him, until she had been
advised. She sent word next day that she was going to Mechlin,
and they were to wait for the Emperor until tomorrow. After-
wards Chievres sent to say that the King Catholic was going to
Lyre to see his grandfather. Yesterday they delivered their letter
to Chievres, whom the Chamberlain desired apart to nourish the
amity between the two crowns, and who said that he had always
desired it. They hear that the reason of the Emperor's changing
his mind in coming to Lou vain was to avoid the French ambas-
sadors who were waiting for him. Norroy has returned from the
Emperor with a letter, stating that tomorrow he will let them
know his resolution. Brussels, 29 Jan. Signed.

French ambassadors have made great provision of money, for what
purpose Spinelly knows not. Heard from Raphael de Mediiiis that
the clause for which the confirmation of the treaty between Charles
and Henry is delayed, is considered to be invasive, and the Pope
will only sanction a defensive league. In Spinelly's opinion, all de-

him for his good intreating of Henry's nephew, that it may not
be thought this abstinence has been obtained in order to drive him
out of Scotland ; that in its publication by Dacres no mention

2856. [Cardinal Sion] to [the Emperor's Ambassadors in

England].

I^ O. The Emperor requires to be furnished from England with

10,000 Rh.d. His ambassadors in England are to use all efforts
to procure it without delay. Although the Emperor has not yet
been able to visit the King of England, he fully intends to keep
his promise. He is going to those parts for this purpose, and
not to have a conference with the French King, which he has
hitherto refused. His negotiations with the French, hitherto, havo
been merely a mask to assist the King Catholic's safe voyage to
Spain. He had already offered to go to England before he visited
the King Catholic, but was oveiTuled by Henry ; on which the
French took occasion by all means to hinder the conference and
sow dissension among the three Powers. The Emperor by the delay
has lost much time and money. He received by the Cardinal and Wing-
field a promise of 30,000 fl., 10,000 fl. of which have been already
paid : the rest was to have been paid at the time of the conference.
Since then three months have elapsed, without the desired effect,
and the Emperor's expences per mouth are more than 10,000 crowns.
He does not like to insist upon these topics, but, according to the
advice of Scripture, he is obliged to follow the example of the
importunate widow. The money he has already received has not
been spent in vain. He has warned his son (Charles) of the ill-
designs of France and of his counsel ; and when he had bound him

by promises to visit Spain by the month of May, the Emperc
sending spies into Zealand discovered that the Regents there, wei
acting hypocritically in order to delay the expedition till Julj
when the King could not go for the heat ; and the Emperor, wh
had summoned a diet at Mayence for 15 June, would be con
pelled to abandon it, and Spain, which was in a state of insui
rection, would be. lost On this the Emperor paid Charlc
a visit to examine the state of affairs, and furnished him wit
money for his journey, which he thinks the King will conside
well bestowed.

arise from its reduction, nor from the treaty with Burgundy, — tha
wound was well healed, — but from misgovernment, controversiei
• and confiscations. The charge of 6,000/. Tournay is not a new one
4. As to the licence to sell rents for the discharge of the 6O,00C
crowns to the King, the town is not burdened more than it ever was
except for a mass founded by the late deceased Bishop, Charles di
Haulbois. The sum is reduced to one half, and the charge falls ox
individual inhabitants, who are content to advance the money on
loan. 5. and 6. Though the property of the town is deteriorated
by the absence of divers burgesses, the mortality has released then
from certain life annuities, to the extent of 2,000 or 3,000 francs.
7. The cost of the repairs and fortifications during the three yean
and four months since the reduction, which they say amoanti
to 2,542 marks sterling, is not greater than that of many ill-advisee
enterprises undertaken by them before. The works will be mad
better executed by men of experience than by the inhabitants work*
ing themselves. 8. What is alleged may be true, but the exemptioi
is only from gabelles and extraordinary taxes. 9. and 10. Referred
to the King's pleasure. 11 — 19. The question between those oi

^- M. would have stayed the same night at Tournowthe. He wont to Lyre,

where he was visited by the King of Castile. On the 30th, both
came to Malines : and the Lord Chamberlain and Vice-chancellor
at the same time. Yesterday they had an audience, where the
Chamberlain delivered the King's letters, which were read by Hans
Reynner. The Emperor, the King, my Lady, the two Cardinals sat
at a square board ; the Emperor and the King at the inside ; my
Lady at the end; the two Cardinals in front; and on a form set before
the other end, somewhat removed, my Lord Chamberlain was placed ;
Mr. Chancellor in the middle on his right hand, and the writer on
the left. '^ The said Mr. Chancellor, after he had order to speak, he
failed not to set forth the most efficace and best pronounced oration
that I have heard ; and as much worthy laud, as well for the curious
composition, as for his reverent and orderly demeaning of the same."
He was answered by the Provost of Felkyrke, taliter qualiter.
Then " the Emperor rose, and came to the place where my Lord
Chamberlain and we stood, and there talked a^ good season much
familiai'ly with my srid Lord, and after gave him licence to depart
because he had not dined."

About two, went to Sion's lodgings, where Mr. Chancellor had a
long communication with him, and delivered the King's letter.
That day the King Catholic left, and the Emperor next day for the
Castle of Villeforde, where he will give audience to the French
ambassadors and return tonight. Begs he may come to England,
as the King has sufficient personages there, and he has been absent
seven years. Malines, 1 Feb. 1517.

the proposition of the Master of the Rolls in the Archduchess*
presence. The King returned yesternight, and this morning, about
ten, started with the French ambassadors for Wylworde, where the
Emperor is expected. A friend brought him the original letter,
written bj the Bp. of Trent to the Catholico, 16 Jan., stating that
he had delivered Verona to Lotrecte, in performance of the treaty.
Though this occurred six days ago no one believed it. As the
cause of discord between the French and the Emperor is thus
removed, and all pretexts for invading the duchy of Milan, it is
thought that the meeting will ensue, and the French obtain their
wishes. So think Merlionand the Audiencer^ who state that about
the 1 5th of this month the Emperor will go to Cambray,

His ambassadors have delivered the confirmation of the peace to
Francis, and received his oath. The consignation of Verona to the
French has been without the Cardinal of Sion's knowledge, who is
greatly dissatisfied, and has thus lost his hopes of being restored to
his property in the duchy of Milan. Lotrecte disbursed 30,000
crowns of gold at the reception of Verona. Chievres and the
Chancellor are in greater favor than ever. The Emperor and the
Catholico will preserve their amity with England, and, saving ** the
clause that your grace doth wot of, the King shall confirm the new
confederation." The Emperor waits for the arrival of certain
princes before making his entry into Brussels. Brussels, 1 Feb.

of Austria, and that their master desired the Emperor would send
some secret councillor to hear more fully of his success : to which
he made a gracious answer. Thereupon the Lord Chamberlain
delivered him the King's letter written with his own hand, and hifl
secret credence. Next day delivered Sion his letters, thanking him
for the pains he had taken, desiring his advice how to compass a
meeting between the Emperor and the Kings of Castile and England,
break the French alliance, remove the councillors, and confirm the
amity : to which Sion assented. They told him that when at Brussels
they heard that Verona was delivered to the French, and the Em-
peror had sent a commission to France to ratify the treaty of Noyon.
Gurk replied that Maximilian was sound in his affection to England,
and that when he conversed with him on the subject of France,
he answered, ** YHiy ween ye, my lord, that I, which have been
these thirty years past an evil Frenchman, am now changed within
thirty days ? Nay, fear ye not : I am not, 1 assure you." And as
to Verona, he said that he had been induced to surrender it to his
nephew, in a manner compelled by the perverse importunity of his
Council, and finding it too chargeable to keep it himself ; *and that
the garrison were with the Duke of Urbino, and the Venetians
were like to use them for the recovery of Ravenna and other lands
of the Pope. They told him that Lewis Maroton had asked for
the 10,000 florins promised the Emperor, which have been paid to
my Lady. On which Gurcke said he had promised the Emperor
10,000 florins in the King's name, but what Lady Margaret might
have promised he knew not ; and he hoped the King would mako
his promise good.

The same evening had a private audience with the Emperor,
expressing how much their King was pleased at Sion's offer, and
how he desired nothing so much as to see him personally ; and
putting him in mind of the promise the Emperor had made to that
effect by Wingfield, said, that considering the fatigues he had had
in coming to these parts, and his age, the King, who, thanked be
God, is younjr and lusty, would cross the sea for a personal con-
ference with the Emperor wherever he would appoint. As Gurcke
was present, said no more, not knowing whether he was still
favorable to France as in the days of King Lewis. They then re-
minded him how, at his suggestion, Henry had been willmg to enter
into a stricter league with the King of Castile, but the confirmation
of it had still been delayed. Said they had received information
how the Prince of Castile had given commission to the Provost of
Louvaine to ratify the treaty of Noyon, and had delivered Verona to
France; but, considering how damaging this would be to his nephew,
and contrary to the Emperor's promise, they could not believe these
reports. Seeing, also, that his heir, the King of Castile, was eighteen
years old, and his spouse ten months, they insisted on the incon-
veniences of the marriage, especially if she should prove to be
deformed. On this the Emperor, taking the advice of my Lady and
the two Cardinals, expressed his love for England, said he would
consider about the interview, and speak to the King of Castile about
the confirmation ; that he was quite aware of the subtle practices of
the French ; and that he would never do anything contrary to his
agreements with England. At this audience Worcester gave his
private credence. The Emperor 'said he would give audience to the
French at Filford. Tunstal reminded Sion of what the Emperor had

* Fox*8 note in the margin : ** Videntur ficta de traditione Veron©."

922 8 HENRY VUI.

1617.

The Eabl op Worcester and Tunstal to [Hex. VIII.] — cont.

said touching matters between liimself and France, and that he had
affirmed they were not contrary to his engagements with England,
'^ which I shewed unto him was so dark, that we wit not what it
meant, but glad would we be for avoiding of all sinister suspicion
to know what matters those were." He answered, he thought the
Emperor meant the negotiations of the French to obtain his ap«
proval of the treaty of Noyon, as his nephew had done, though he
would not enter it himself : but he said the Emperor would never
make any peace with England without the consent of France.

Dr. Tunstal on the same day had an audience with my Lady,
who told him that after their departure '*the Emperor walked
in a chamber apart alone, a good space musing, she and the
Cardinal Sedunensis talking together in the meantime ; and that
after she had perceived the Emperor to be in such a deep thought
she asked him whereon he mused. He said that many phan-
tasies ran in his mind, and even then chiefly he thought by
what means he might so order himself that it might both satisfy
your grace and not miscontent the Frenchmen, but to satisfy
them also; demanding of her, smiling, in case that it could not
be brought about, that both might be contented, but that the one
must needs be displeased, to whether of both she would counsel
him to incline. "Whereunto she answered that she thought he
made that demand rather to prove her wit withal than that greatly
he himself thereof doubted." She told him of the wrongs he had
suffered from the French, and if she put them together "it would
make a book which should be three fingers thick : whereas if the
promises by them to him made and kept were gathered together
he might comprise them in one sheet of paper and less,*' &c.
" Whereunto he said, I thought your tale would run to that pur-
pose, but yet I would it were looked upon how all might be well
' brought to pass." Therefore she requested Tunstal, when they
had communication with the Emperor, to desire him plainly not to
insist upon their writing to the King what was not true, " as I
trust " (says Tunstal) " we shall not, nor should not, albeit her
counsel thereto had not been given us."

On Candlemas day the Emperor went to church with his garter
and collar, and told Worcester he should not leave those parts
until he saw the King of Castile in Spain, and his brother Fer-
dinand here : then, he doubted not, all would go well. After dinner
the Emperor sent for Wingfield, and proposed that the Prince of
Castile should send two commissioners, England two, of whom Sion
should be one, and the Emperor two, of whom Gurk should be
one, to discuss the ratification, which, however, he was resolved to
have passed. Mechlin, 3 Feb. Signed.

scend, and in necessity of the said sum, boand myself to the
Fukkers that the said sum should be paid unto thfem] bj her
grace before the end of October last past; and that whereas the
factor of the said Fukkers have now been with me, showing that
the said sum is neither paid by her grace, nor yet direct answer
made unto them how or where it should be paid," I said I would
not have done so had I not been convinced that the^ money was
in her hands. She stated her surprise that the money was so long
unprovided, and other sums that were promised her had not been
forthcoming, and that she had sent to the King, or at least to
Hesdin, the letter Wingfield had written to her on the subject. Was
present yesterday at an audience with Gurk and Bp. Colonna, who
made overtures for a general peace. Sion told him that in the
private audience he had had with the Chancellor the latter much
praised the amity of England. The Emperor having ordered all
out of the room, except my Lady, Wingfield and the two Cardinals,
then began to state the purpose of his communing with them at
Dwre and Mastryk, and why he could not speak with him before,
and what difficulty there was in ratifying the league. Whereupon
Sion delivered a paper, of which he sends a copy. He spoke well
and to tiie purpose, and so did the Emperor in reply. It was
resolved, in conclusion, that two persons should be dispatched to
the Prince's Council to "enwcleate" the matter, with this intent,
that not only the treaty of Noyon, but that between Henry VIL
and King Philip, should be sent him to ascertain whether there be
any contradiction in the two.

Yesterday he, the Master of the Rolls and the Lord Chamber-
lain went to the Court, when the Ejnperor said to the last-named
they were companions for that day, because both wore the Order
of the Grarter, and furthermore said " that the Duke of Brunswick,
which supped with him the night before, had said unto him [that]
because his majesty had so late given hearing to the French that
[he] seemed to feel a great savor of the same, wherefore his
majesty safid] to have put roses about his neck that morning, to
the entenft] that by their sweet savor the French odor might be
ta[ken] away, with many other merry and well set words." In
their order to church went the Archduchess in her horse litter,
and her ladies in charge, and sat in the roodloft. Then came the
Emperor, with Sion on his right and the Lord Chamberlain on
his left. Next before the sword, the Cardinal Gron[salvo with] the
Pope's ambassador on his right, and the Duke of Brunswick on his
left ; next before them, Mr. Vice-chancellor and the writer. In
the chancel the Emperor sat on the right side of the choir, in the
highest place, towards the altar. Next to him, in the stall adjoin-
ing, my Lord Chamberlain, then the Duke, the Vice-chancellor and
Wingfield. On the opposite side were the two Cardinals and the
Pope's ambassador. Tapers were prepared, all of a sort, with the
arms painted in paper. At the conclusion Bannissis read a letter,
from the Pope, dated 20 Jan., and a letter from the Count de Carpi,
the ambfuisador at Rome, replenished with demonstration at the
Pope's perplexity, and praying for aid against the Turks, by the
Duke of Urbino, showing the perils of Naples, &c. Wingfield
desired the Emperor to consider whether it were better for the
French to show his venom now, when his majesty had England to
back him, or when the King had cut his way out of this labyrinth.

Will only now touch on those matters that refer to the surrender of
Verona. The Emperor had delivered it to the King Catholic from
urgent necessity, not expecting he would surrender it for three
months, until affairs had been established ; and under the same
urgency the Emperor consented that the King Catholic should
treat for peace with France, on condition that he should do what
accorded with the honor of the three sovereigns : but his most per^
fidious Council would not supply the pay for the garrison at
Verona^ so that, unless it had been given to the French, the soldiers
would have surrendered it, and the French have been masters of the
Tyrol. On the 8th Verona belonged to the Emperor : on the 9th
to the King Catholic : on the 15th to the French : on the 17th to
the Venetians. He has been obliged to act like the beaver. It is
clear now in what way the French are likely to keep their promises
to the King Catholic, and that they will not allow the Emperor a
foot of land in Italy ; now the Pope's neutrality leaves him prey to
Loth parties. Now Naples hangs upon a thread. Now two wolves,
the Venetians and the French, divide Italy between them. The
Turks have already appeared. Francis de Ruer, with the connivance
of the French, has collected troops to attack the Church. The Vene-
tians seized Ravenna on 20 Jan. Hopes they will not obtain Roman-
diola. The Duke of Ferrara has seized upon Modena ; Francis de
Ruer, Urbino and Rimini ; the Frenchmen, Florence ; and the Ben-
tivogli will aim at Bologna. The Pope has written for aid to the
Emperor, whose dull eyes are now open. The Pope will soon
demand a league : the Swiss will concur. The Emperor will have
the ratification from the King Calholic. All the open and secret
treaties had with England^ of which Sion spohe to Wolsey y will
proceed for certain. The French ambassadors will be dismissed^

plains of meeting such a return from the Pope for all the good ho
has done to the Church, stirring the King's own subjects and others
against him, and revoking the authority granted at his majesty's
instance to the Cardinal Abp, of York. Unless Worcester hereafter
take better care, and obtain revocation of tho said bull, the King
will provide himself another agent. How he shall further order
himself, he will be advertised by letters of the Cardinal of York',

the sake of his majetity. The Pope consented to the King's desire
that the administration of the church of Toumay should be given
to Wolsey, then elect of Lincoln, now Abp. of York, and sent a
breve accordingly, especially as the elect of the church refused the
administration* But when, after the peace, there was no ground for
suspicion, and justice was demanded of him, what could the Pope
do ? If, in obtaining the letters, any circumstances were ff^sely
stated or suppressed, the King can appeal. The letters were merely
formal, and contained nothing extraordinary. The clause relative
to the secular arm, considered so enspicious, was not added de indus"

much concerned, seeing he owes so much to his valor. With rep:ard
to the revocation of the administration of tho aforesaid Cardinal
of York, if the Pope had known the pertinacity of the elect of

rouse the citizens to rebellion, he never would have granted him

decessors for forty years, he never could have expected this proof
of the Kiug's anger, which will abbreviate the days of his life ;
and if the Pope liave made this exorbitant revocation he did so
without Worcester's knowledge, so craftily that it was impossible for
him to " impeditt" the same. This undeserved " culpe" therefore
must not be ascribed to him. He never represented other than the
. truth when he stated that the Pope was friendly to the King,
though the King now accuses him of the contrary. He cannot

sufficiently express the favorable terms that the Pope has always
used, '* insomuch that divers times I have seen him holding up his
[hands] towards the heaven, saying those words, * O Almighty God,
ut[inam] ille rex Anglise war somewhat nerer to us for to have his
f[avor] and succor in our occurrents. Then the Holy Church
would be in more .... and surety under the protection, umbre
and chadow, of the said m[ost] virtuous King."

After receiving his letter remonstrated with the Pope for what he
had done in revocation of the Cardinal of York in favor of the Bp.
of Toumay, and told him how the King complained " dolently" of
his violating his promise, condemning him for his " odious inimi-
city." The Pope answered that he had promised to do whatever
was reasonable in his treaty with the French King, and guaranteed
the revocation, without sufficient deliberation, to avoid the danger he
anticipated from France ; begs the King will excuse him if he can-
not altogether condescend to his wishes. If the fortune of France
change he will annihilate the revocation, and restore the administra-
tion to Wolsey in amplissima forma. On Worcester asserting he
would not be satisfied with such a promise, but consider such conduct
as injurious to his prince, *' with a soiTy and full displeasant heart
his holiness answered me that as now had no remedy in this behalf,
without yt war with his perpetual destruction ;" and he remitted
Worcester to the Cardinal of Ancona, to see what remedy could be
found per viam juris, of which Worcester has written to Wolsey.
Nothing more can be done at present. Sorry as he is to have
given offence, he will be content if the King will send another
man out of his realm more fit than he for that office, without
remitting any of the zeal that he feels for the King's service.

The Pope has expressed his desire for the establishment of a
league between the Emperor and the Kings of England and Cas-
tile ; for which purpose the Emperor had gone to Flanders. The
Duke of Urbino has raised a power, and will shortly recover his
duchy. The Pope suspects he is backed by the French, notwith-
standing that Francis had ofiered him the use of his men of war,
and commanded the Lord of Utreke to be at his bidding. It is
necessary the governors of the King of Castile should be changed,
and the Emperor urged to do it. The Pope is extremely anxious
for the confirmation of the league. Rome, 8 Feb. 1517. Signed

^It B. ux. 117. The Pope is extremely sony for the revocation of the adminis-

B. M. tration of Toumaj, and sajs he was compelled to it hy the French

to save the Papacj. He hears that the Emperor will not remain
firm in his alliance with France, and has consequently ordered
his ambassador Fra Nicholas to confirm him in this opinion. The
Pope is afraid that for the restoration of Verona, and owing to
the prodigality of the French and the promises made by Chievres,
the Emperor will adhere to France. Is anxious that England
should retain him in alliance, and the governors of the ISimg
Catholic be removed. Is sure that the French support the Duke
of Urbino, not because they love him, he beinff the nephew of
Julius, but to bring the Pope to their feet ; that by fomenting the
rebellion in the Romagna they might have him for their vassal ;
and that Dominus de Wtretto (Lautrec) declared as much. When
the Pope asked him for 6,000 or 8,000 troops for the defence of
Urbino, Lautrec would grant no more than 3,000, and they treat
the Pope only half civilly, as not wishing to lose him entirely.
But for their aid, he could very easily defeat the pretender.

If England will make an alliance with the Emperor, France and
the King Catholic, the Pope will join the confederacy. Hopes they
will do all they can to disturb the conference at Cambray. The
Pope is victimised by the French, who have denounced the Prag-
matic Sanction. He told Worcester that he had accepted the treaty
in the presence of a notary, and that he will not withdraw the Bp.
of Veroli from the Swiss, as the French demand. News has como
that the Duke of Urbino has possessed himself of the duchy. The
Pope begs the King not to let his brief of exculpation be seen by
anybody. Desires letters may be sent to Cardinal Surrentinus,
and the other to whom the affair of Tournay has been intrusted.
Worcester is sorry to find that he is suspected of favoring the
French, whom he loves as the devil loves holy water.

Naples, who has courteously complied. All think that the French so
regulate their conduct as to have the Pope at their beck. The new
Duke of Urbino is levying troops against the old Duke, who will
be soon defeated if not assisted by France. The Pope has received
letters from Flanders of the 5th, stating that the Emperor will
throw himself entirely into the arms of France. D. Pet[rus] Durea,
Abp. of Syracuse, the ambassador of the King Catholic, looks
entirely to C[hievre8]. The other ambassador, who has been there
for ten years, returns to Spain, and says he shall be choked with the
praises of the French. Letters liave come from Flanders of the
9th, stating that Gurk and Chievres have obtained their wish for a
congress at Cambray.

" LitteraB datae

The Pope has received bad news from Flanders. He thinks,
unless the Emperor have lost his senses, the alliance with France
cannot stand. Gurk writes in his letters to the imperial ambas-
sador that the congress will take place at Cambray. The Pope has
promised that if Wolsey will send the proofs from Toumay, he will
recall the bull conceded to the elect ; and if some suitable provision
can be made for D. Aloi[sius Rossi], he will not object to his
resignation of his claim on St. Martin's. The Pope would be glad to
know if England will lend him some few thousand ducats. He wants
20,000 for a year, and will give security. Worcester has informed
the Pope that the King does not object to his sending indulgences
thither for the building of St. Peter's. It is not altogether true,
that the new Duke of Urbino has written that the Pope freely
granted whatever was asked him touching the business of Toumay.

8 Feb. 2881. The Earl of Worcester and Tunstal to [Hen. VIII.]

Qalba,B.v.54. On the 4th, Lewis Maroton came to Tunstal, and told him that

B. M. persons about the Emperor were desirous to induce him to abandon

England and agree with France, saying, as England broke the
marriage of his sister with the King of Castile, married her to
France, and made peace, without the knowledge of the Emperor,
why should not he do the same ? Maroton advised them to say, at
their meeting with the Emperor privately, that the King had certain
things to communicate to him at the interview. They do not intend
to follow his advice. Tunstall said the interruption of the marriage
was much against the King's will, and must be attributed to the
Council of the King of Castile, who refused to bring him to Calais
on the day appointed ; and though they were bound by the treaty
when the King was fourteen years old to have sent a procuration
to England to espouse her per verba de presently they neglected to
do so. Maroton answered, that the Count Palatine was commanded
by the Emperor to execute that mission. Tunstal said they must
bear the blame that did not execute it : the King was not apprised
of it.

The same day the Emperor went to Antwerp to hear the over-
tures of the Duke of Gueldres, and returns to morrow. 75,000
crowns have been brought for his use to Brussels, on condition that
he should swear to the peace of Noyon ; the Bishop of Paris is to
receive his oath. The influence of Chievres and the Chancellor has
been much increased since his coming. Tunstal went to Sion, and

8 HENBY YUL 931

begged him not to dissemble the truth. He said that the money
was dne to the Emperor for delivering Verona ; that he would not
accept the peace, and if he swore it never so much he would not
keep it ; that he had gone from Bruges to Antwerp out of displea-
sure to the King of Castile for delivering Verona ; that Ravenna
was recovered from the Venetians ; and that Naples was in danger.
Thej doubt his word. The King of Castile's council stiffly oppose
confirmation of the amity with England. Will urge the Emperor
to keep his promise without showing they distrust him. He has
had search made of the treaties between England and Burgundy,
by which he intends to convict the King of Castile's Council. Do
not intend to be present at the interview, that the Emperor may
not make it appear as if he had done his best. So long as the-
confirmation does not follow, they ** will threpe upon him," he has
not done so. If the Emperor merely try persuasion he will not
prevail ; and though his dominions are in much greater danger by
the delivery of Verona his counciilers are as obstinate as ever.
Now that Verona is delivered, if the King of Castile confirm the
league he wUl make England his shot anchor against France. If
he refuse he wiU be obliged to please France in all things. Would
be glad to know the King's mind as to future proceedings. The
Emperor sends a letter. Mechlin, 8 Feb. Signed by Wareetter

Galba, B. T. 56. P.S. — ^Before closing their letter Sion sent for Tunstal, and made

B. M.' ' him a long discourse of the Pope having spent 500,000 ducats left

by Pope Julius, and being much behindhand ; that he had forsaken
the Emperor, who had remained faithful to England, and was com«
pelled to draw baSck ; that, as the money promised had not come to
the Swiss, had the Emperor tarried two days longer, Galeas would
have betrayed him — so Brescia was lost ; that his nephew would no
longer help him, Ac, for this reason, he was compelled to listen to
the French for a time ; that the Emperor proposed the arbitrament
for confirmation of the treaty should be referred to himself, and
he would give it in the King's favor. Then he said, that the Em-
peror would meet the King of England at some place to be appointed,
and perform such promises as had been secretly made, &c. &c.
** Whereupon (says Tunstal) I, marking well his aforesaid progress,
and wherennto it sounded, showed him that what other secret
promises was made by the Emperor to your grace I know not; but
I understood that one was the said Emperor should not enter the
peace of Noyon, nor no peace with France without your grace's
consent ; which, if he knew that either the Emperor had entered
already, or else would enter it, I prayed him for the great trust
and confidence which your grace put in him to advertise your grace
thereof." He then said the Emperor had ratified the treaty of Noyon
already. Tunstal said that was against the Emperor's promise.
He said, No; '' that the Emperor, by restoring 50,000 fiorins which
he hath ready for your grace," might do what h^ liked with Verona;
and that if the King would be counselled by the Emperor, he would
obtain his wishes ; that as to removing the councillors, the Emperor
** could be angry and smite off heads," but he must do ** all things
after an order," &c. Thus the King will see his promises are not
like to be performed.

When tiie Emperor returns they mean to be plain with him.

Tunstal demanded that Sion should write of the ratification of

, Noyon to the King. They think, when affairs are ruined, to

remedy it all by bringing England to make war with France, as in
the last war. The restoration of tlie Venetian power in Italy will
be of great service to the French. On telling the Archduchess
the circumstance, she said, " that men might say of the Emperor
what they will : ofttimes they that ween be most surest of him
be furthest from their purpose of him." She says that the Em-
peror expects a visit from the Duke of Gueldres, whom he hopes
to wean from France. Tunstal thinks he is more likely to wean
the Emperor. This second part written 9th February in the morn-

Q alba, B. v. 58. Have received his letters dated 30 Jan., desiring Sir Robert

B. M. Wingfield may be made privy to their instructions because of his

credit with the Emperor. He will see by their letters to the King
how matters stand. Expect no overture from the Emperor touching
the reformation of the treaty of Noyon. Worcester has not with
him the book devised for appointing the lodgings at the meeting
between the Emperor and the King at Calais on the marriage of the
French Queen with the Prince of Castile. It is among his evidences
at home. Hears that a fi. fa. has been issued against him in his
absence for alienations of his lands in Suffolk and Norfolk. Will
be able to produce the King's licence for the same, besides the
pardon that was last granted. Mechlin, 8 Feb. Signed.

B. M. time to the King. Encloses a letter from the Cardinal of Sion.

On the 6th the Emperor sent for him. Was with him at Antwerp.
Lord Berghes left on his arrival. Received a packet from the Em-
peror from his ambassadors in England. Found in his pocket a letter
from Wolsey to the Cardinal, one to Worcester, one to himself, and
one from Brian Tuke. Showed Wolsey's letter to him, expressing
satisfaction at the Emperor's proceedings, who expressed in return
his rooted affection for the King of England. He said the matters
^ now in hand are of so perilous a sort that dissimulation must be
used, and that if the King would trust him all would be well, and
a firm alliance established. Yesterday returned to Mechlin, and
delivered the letters. Has seen their instructions. Thinks there
is no fault in Sion. The enemy are well provided with two swords,
" cawtelous " craft, which they have continued for 400 years, and
largition of money. Malines, 8 Feb.

P.S. — ^This want of money "qwadryth " not well with the King's
honor. Fukker's factor calls upon him every day for the 6,000

B. 3i. the 22nd of last month. Speaks of the defeat of the Turk, on his

road to Cairo, bj the Mamelukes. Thos. Colman, master of the
hospital, was buried today ; Wolsej's scholar and servant. He
died on the 12th, of the sweating sickness ; was badly treated.
Never saw a more robust body carried off so suddenly. The hos- *
pital is in very evil plight. The few English here do nothing but
cat and drink, run riot and abuse each other. Master John
Gryghe, who professes to be a servant of Canterbury, is very
urgent to be admitted ; ** ma e una bestia et matto publico, come
Magistro Bello vi puo informare, et poco nostro amico." Is to
pray Wolsey to have compassion on this poor hospital, which must
otherwise go to ruin. Reconmiends Fra Nicolas, who, he hears, is
going into England. Some reference (unintelligible) to Lincoln and
Ely and the church of Salisbury. He (Fra Nic. ?) is commissioned
to make instance with the King in a matter in which the Pope
feels great interest. Signer Paulo is driven mad with this affair
of Bfdbi, and complains of being continually deluded. Has ex-
pedited the matter of Erasmus. Wishes to receive by Campucci
certain sums he has expended. Has not sent the brief into Flan-
ders to Erasmus, because it must come from Ammonius ; " perche
lo dispensiate, evipoi [u]naltro breve che lo dispensa haver mille
duchati . . buon filii che solo questo non lare (?) con 300 ducati,

Has received a most bitter letter respecting the revocation
granted by the Pope to the French [touching the bishopric of
Touimay]. Professes his entire ignorance of the whole proceed-
ings, however incredible it might seem that the Pope should pass
a bull, and he should be ignorant of it. Expresses his great grief
that it should have occurred.

^'Parmi Messer Aluiso Giberaleon habbi presso controvato
unmodo di servire W." Has thanked Prosper Colonna for having
spoken honorably of the King to the Pope. He profilers his services
to Henry, and has requested his nephew, Bp. Colonna, not to
leave Flanders till he has first gone to visit the King. Worcester
must have money to prosecute the Cardinal's causes. He has spent
60 ducats, and promised 100 ducats to the Cardinal of Ancona,
** quale non vuole essere nominate per ha . . favorevole et con il
papa et del suo consiglio qual . . e doctissimo." The Cardinal of
Arragon thanks Ammonius for the service done the Queen who was
the [wife] of Frederic.

Begs he will make a summary of what he wrote to him in cipher,
for the King and Cardinal. Complains of the ^* iniquissime pa-
role " of that scoundrel, Brian Tuke. The rout of the Turks was
false, but their affairs with the Soldan were not so hopeful as was
stated. Alexandria still holds out. The Mamelukes at Cairo ai*e

want of a scribe. Luizo is looking out for him. Everybody
wonders that the Emperor has had to give up Verona, although
he pretends the contrary. The Pope hopes to take advantage of
the troubles of the Duke of Urbino, and chase him from his
dukedom.

Has written to the King two letters, one in Latin, the other in
English, de verho ad verbum. Has also written to the Cardinal in
Latin, partly in cipher. Begs Ammonius will put it into order.
Hopes the news about the agreement of the Emperor and Catholic
King with France is not true, because the Pope will be left at
their mercy. For Grod's sake, remember at once the 60 ducats I
have spent. Has not had time to get transcribed a cipher to the
Cardinal, which is written in Italian. Begs Ammonius to put it
into Latin, and to make a sunmiary of that which comes to Ammo-
nius in Italian and cipher.

The Pope is not satisfied with the answer sent to him about the
abbey of Tournay, and complains that the promise made to him of
the half disme has not been kept. Sends him the letter he has
received from Brian Tuke. Makes his excuses to W. that he has
not written to him by this post,

repeating several times, " How can this be ?" as by the advices he

he said, " Verily, the Emperor has been deceived by the King of

always been opposed to the Emperor. Thinks he will not be able

others, the captain of the expedition being the Lord M. A. &>lonna,
with the troops which left Verona." I'he Signory is accused of
being restless and ambitious, especially by the imperial ambassadors
here, who never cease defaming it. Was told this day, by a friend
[Chieregato] who had been with these ambassadors, that one of
them. Count Tationo, whose county is near Aste, said, " What is
this King, and what are other Princes doing ? They ought all to
join against these ribald Venetians, who are worse than the Turks ;"
adding other words of a like nature. These two ambassadors, on
receiving the news of Verona, put on . cloth of frieze, most mean
apparel, to show the world, perhaps, that this took place contrary
to the will of the Emperor, and to his great shame, for the sake of
causing the King hero to make some fresh stir. Is assured that

B. M. The Emperor went from Antwerp to Lire on the 9th, desiring

them to give credence to his daughter, Gurk and De la Roche.
Thej stated that the King of Castile refused to confirm the amity,
as the Emperor required, except in one of two ways ; to take out
the words ^^emolumenta et proventus,'* or add the words ^<sine
pnejudicio tractatus conclusi in Noyon," &c. The writers said the
treaty had been already concluded by the King of Castile's com-
missioners as it stood ; that without perjury he could not refuse to
confirm it ; that the thing was unreasonable in itself, and contrary
to the whole spirit of the treaty ; that it would lead to endless
litigation, and they had no authority to allow any change: but
they were ready to send the terms to England. They were desired
not to do so till word had been sent to the Emperor. On the 1 1th
Gurk ofiered them four propositions from the Emperor, as in the
bill enclosed. Objected to the third way as more dark than the
second ; and to leave the confirmation to the Emperor, as in the
fourth, would be to acknowledge the treaty questionable. Desired
a copy of the paper, which was given them aflter they had spoken
with the Emperor.

Requested of my Lady to have audience with the Emperor
before he went to Brussels. Told him, on the morrow, that the
King of England was anxious to establish the ancient amity
between himself and Burgundy, but had been refused; that on
the death of the King of Arragon, when so many realms had fallen
to his nephew (grandson), it was again ofiered; and this last
summer, when the Emperor made war on Milan, and asked for
a stricter league between the three, England had sent ambassadors
to his nephew for that purpose, who ofiered to accept all such
articles as suited his purpose, and refused those made for the Em-
peror's ; that his governors, to prevent the alliance, had made a
treaty with France, at Noyon, containing many conditions preju-
dicial to him ; that the King of Castile is a young man, but the
Emperor reputed *^the wisest prince this day living;" and if he
confirmed it, the King of Castile could have no pretence hereafter
to say he was deceived. The result, they said, would be, that the
prince of the greatest inheritance for the last 500 years would be
at the beck of France ; the natural authority of the Emperor and
his daughter overshadowed, the French established in Italy, and

France would attain the crown of the empire, which she claims as
her right. The Emperor ought, therefore, to encourage his nephew
not to submit to his governors, who would treat him like a Duke
of Brabant, not like a King. Again, in the expedition against
Milan, the governors complained of the King of Arragon, because
the Viceroy of Naples did not join, whilst on the last occasion they
sent word to him not to join ; and all their conduct was for the
interest of the French. Concluded by desiring him to induce the
King of Castile to confirm the article made for entertaining the
Swiss, to prevent them joining with France. The Emperor said,
that as these matters greatly concerned the King of Castile, he
would consult with him at his going to Brussels. He leaves this
day, and on Sunday next will swear to the treaty of Noyon, as
they know for certain. Mechlin, 12 Feb. Signed.

12 Feb. 2910. The Earl of Worcester and Tunst/ll to [Hen. VIII.]

Q«lba,B. v. 64, Have written a letter, subscribed by them and Wingfield, of the

B. M. state of affairs, to which they refer. They advise that the arbitra-

ment of the confirmation should not be left to the Emperor, for he
has already made peace with France without the knowledge of
England, and will use it to his own purposes. As the King of
Castile has refused it, and the Emperor will not insist on it, and it
is more for their interest than the King's, advise Henry to decline
it, and to state he will no longer be bound by it, and that he intends
strictly to observe the treaties made with the Emperor, and expects
him to do the same ; to compliment the Emperor for confirming
the same with the King of Castile, " with such other good words."
There is no chance the governors will be removed. Their authority
has increased and will continue till the King is to Spain. He
must take his own way till he find himself vexed. My Lady dis-
sembled when they told her the Emperor was going to Brussels to
receive the French money. Sion assured Tunstal " that the Emperor
would go to receive those crowns of France," and think it a sin to
suffer them to escape his hands. On demanding an audience from
him he would give no answer.

Yesternight my Lady sent for Dr. Tunstal, and said she had been
in long communication with the Emperor. He told her, if she
would keep his counsel, and show it to no person, he would tell
her his mind. On her promising to show it to no one without his
leave, he said he wished well to England, that he found the King
of Castile " as immoveable as an idol, which word I [Tunstal] mar-
velled escaped her," and to avoid debate he had proposed certain
ways contained in their letters. To avoid suspicion she was going
with him to Brussels. She told Tunstal, on his asking an audience,
that, as the Emperor knew not what they would say, he cared not
to defer it. In their audience next morning spoke to the Emperor
as mentioned in their letters. Maraton then said he had a great
secret ; that though the Emperor offers four ways he refers the
fourth to arbitrament, that by so doing he could bring the King of
Castile to the meeting, and " when your grace and the young King
should meet together, and by disports be well acquainted, then
mention should be made of his going into Spain. And if his Council
would say he were not purveyed of ships nor money, then your
grace might say he should not lack ships nor money, if he would
make assignations to your grace to pay it again at days. And so,

your help had in that behalf, he might bo go into Spain.*** Thinks
he was sent bj the Emperor to sound them. If his tale be true, it
means that England should bear the expence of his voyage into
Spain.

Mj Lady is not candid. She does not dislike the governors, as
she pretends, for the treaty of Noyon is beneficial to her lands.
All their fair promises were made to get money. " Howbeit our
simple advice is, that your grace, shutting your purse in time to
come by all good means possible, to be with words devised, to enter-
tain the Emperor and my Lady as they do your grace. We think
verily the Emperor will, if he can, cast a figure to come by the
20,000 fiorins promised at the meeting, (in case he enter not further
intelligence with France,) excusing the breaking of his promise by
one means or other. At our first coming what good words we had
we have written in our former letters, of which we seethe contrary
effects follow." Will wait for an answer before further communi-
cation with him. Think it well to leave them alone in their new
amity with France, by which France will lose nothing. Demanded
an audience before the Emperor went to Brussels, to obviate all
his excuses, and delivered the letters they received dated the 7th.
Mechlin, 12 Feb.

P.S. — The King has required by Cardinal Sion that the la9t
overtures made to him should be put into writing to assist his
memory. As they suspected the motion came frmn Gurk, and it
referred to the governors, the writers demanded that none should
be present but the Emperor. Said they were ordered by their
prince to communicate it to him privately, and if he forgot anything
they would tell him it : " or else I, Dr. Tunstall, should come to
Brussels," and show it him secretly.

Gallia, B. ▼. 72. Among other points in their joint letter there is one article un-

B. M. touched because he would not make his clerk privy to it. Could

Ellis, I S. I. 184. not write it before as he had been sent for to the Emperor's com-

missioners. Cardinal Sion in his long discourse stated that one of
the secret matters treated between the Emperor and the King, was
the resignation by the former of the empire in favor of Henry ;
'* which matter, when I heard, I let as I nothing had marked it, and
let him pass on in talking of his tale." After expressing his great
anxiety for the increase of the King's honor, Tunstal states such
an election cannot be thought about by any means whatever; that
if certain points be neglected the election is void: — one is, that the
elect must be a subject of the empire, which England never was.
" But the crown of England is an empire of itself, much better than
now the empire of Rome, for which cause your grace weareth a
close crown; and therefore, if ye were chosen, since your grace is
not of the empire, the election were void. And if your grace
should accept the said election, thereby ye mnst confess your realm
to be under subjection of the empire, to the perpetual prejudice of
your successors." Before being made Emperor (which would be

by being crowned at Rome) Henry must be King of the Romans,

a dignity Maximilian does not mean to give up, and which cannot
be voided except by death or when the King of the Romans is
crowned Emperor. Is afraid the ofi*er is so specious that they
will get money by it. Advises the King to treat it as a token of

13 Feb. 292L Spinelly to Henry VIII.

Galba, B. ▼. 81. Last week, the Emperor, after promising to be here, went from

B. M. Mechlin to Antwerp. He is expected at Brussels this evening.

Peace will be concluded with France. Chievres, the Chancellor and
the Audiencer will go to Cambray to arrange with the Great Master
of France the place of meeting. Since his coming the authority
of the governors has been much increased. All matters are left
to them, and the suits of the Spaniards are discouraged. All
displeasure -felt against France on the score of Verona has dis-
appeared. From these causes, and the countenance given to
Chievres and the Chancellor, his popularity has declined. Tlie
Spaniards speak ill of him, and all say he had better have tarried
in Almain, as the governors " have him in their sleeves." The
great inducement put forward for his joining the meeting at
Cambray is an enterprise against the Lifidels, of which he shall be
captain general^ and thus Hwigary he secured, where his niece is
married, with his patrimony of Carinthia and Croatia. For this
enterprise the Catholico makes many promises of men, money and
ships, and that the Pope shall grant dismes upon the spirituality
in Almain. The French offer him in marriage the Lady of
Angouleme, with 500,000 crowns* Verona was delivered on the
I5th of last month to Lotrecte.

Spinelly to Henry VIII. — cone.

On the 16th tho garrison went to Mantua, and were taken in
pay by the Duke of Urbino and a cousin of the Marquis of
Mantua. Swelled by a number of adventurers, they proceeded to
a town called Fynal, belonging unto the Duke of Ferrara, giving
out that ^' the sayd Due went for to recowere his duchie, and not
for to any arm unto no mann." Some say he has taken Ravenna,
and the Duke of Ferrara Modena and Regyo, and the Benty voUys
are entered into Bononya : but this has not been confirmed by
letters from Rome of the 29th. The Pope sent to inquire of the
French King if these things were done with his consent, who
denied it, and has commanded Lotrecte to assist the Pope on all
occasions. The Catholico has commanded the Viceroy of Naples
to do the same. All the Neapolitans there believe that it was a
practice of the French with a view to invade Naples.

The Emperor, on his arrival at Brussels, was met by the King
a mile hence. On Saturday a feast was prepared. On Monday
Chicvres, the Chancellor and the Audiencer held a meeting with
the Bp. of Paris and the Lord Tomon to appoint the place of
congress. With them go also a friar Augustin, an Almain, sent
by the Pope, who has great influence. A friend of Spinelly's,
intimate with Pottilberg, receiver general of Flanders, and with
the Lord Montani, tells him that the Catholico hath lately granted
the Emperor 50,000 ducats^ to be paid out of the rents of Castile
annually^ in addition to the 50,000 florins of gold he receives
every year out of Flanders ; and because Chievres and the Chan-
cellor had fallen under his displeasure^ they have found the means
cf conciliating them at their master's cost. The great Lords, with
whom the Cardinal of Spain had been at variance, and had trans-
ferred their respect to De la Shaw, have been compelled by the
governors here to submit: the Cardinal representing that their
hostility arose only because he would not suffer them to usurp the
rights of the Crown, His secretary has since procured for him
from the King a pension of 500 ducats on the see of Coria. The
temporal lords, who were about to assemble the States of the
realm, and provide that every town should keep their rents in their
own hands till the King's coming, are greatly provoked at this. It
is, therefore, thought that the King must go next summer into
Spain, or a commotion will ensue. The Cardinal of Sion is
expected at Mechlin. Brussels, 1 3 Feb.

Galba, B. y. 77. Regrets the turn that aflaii^s are taking, but expects that the

B^ M. conduct of the French to their new friends will make England

more desired. The Emperor is not well disposed to them, but
only badly counselled. Merlion f told him that at the meeting of
Cambray Chievres and the Chancellor expressed their conviction
how the King of England might be sure of his money from France,
and the Catholico become security for it, which he might do because
he gives as much yearly for the realm of Naples ; but this he will
not do for the French Queen^s dower. Thinks if some gift had

Galb«,B.T. 75. Refers him to letters to the King. The promise made by the

B. M. Emperor cannot be performed. There is much dissimulation.

Mj Ladj pretends to take their part, but dissembles. Pretends,
however, to believe her. Is inclined to think that Don John De
la Nucha^ with whom she pretends to be discontented, was driven
by her out of the country because he knew too much of the Em-
peror's dealings. The Emperor accuses mj Lady, and my Lady the
Emperor, of divulging secrets. " My iJord, at the reverence of
God, move the King to take good counsel at this time and refrain
his first passions." He must dissemble the past, shut the King's
purse in time to come, and make the best of the amity with the
Emperor and the King of Castile, or the King will be left without
friends. Thinks their importunate seeking of this new amity has
been more a hindrance than otherwise, and made the people here
believe they can lead the King as they please. It will be of no
advantage to England. Cardinal Sion tells him that the briefs
which came to the Kiug of Castile, that ^' salva conscientia ** he
might form this new alliance, were procured by Gurk. If so, the
Emperor was privy to it. '^ Cardinal Gurk is reputed to be as
the Emperor will, like as your grace is with our master : of which
point, I pray you, advertise the King's grace." Thinks the King
of Castile has not yet consented to any point contrary to their
amity with England, which *^they keep for a backset." *' Afler
such sober manner help so to order all things at this time that our
master cast not utterly away these his ancient A-iends upon this
new displeasure. I trust in the end the repentance shall be theirs,
if our master will take a little patience." *' Arm your grace with

dated Westminster, the 7th, in answer to his from Arscott, of
24 Jan., touching the 6,000 fl. due to the Fuggers, and the 2,000
nobles paid by Sion to the Emperor at Hagenaw. Touching the
first sum, as he had acted in accordance with the charge given
him, hopes he shall be acquitted of all blame. His own letters to
my Lady, which she sent to Wolsey, are the best witness. Will
write again when he has communicated with my Lady. Had never
stated Siat Sion was to be reimbursed the 2,000 nobles advanced
by him. The Emperor is bound, and one half he has restored
already. Malines, 13 Feb. 1517.

the matter : ". Domine Orator," said Wolsey, " I have at present a
great deal of business. We will confer together more at leisure.'*
Perceiving he wished to be alone with the Duke of Suffolk, Sebas-
tian took his leave, and visited the Bp. of Durham, who warmly
congratulated him. Sebastian told him that the Signory had no
ambitious designs, and had nothing more at heai*t than general
peace. As he muttered that those who think of gaining fresh
territory do not show signs of peace, Sebastian assured him he
knew nothing of the matter, but possibly these towns might have
surrendered voluntarily, as they had belonged to Venice before
they passed into the hands of Pope Julius on the conspiracy at
Cambray. Did not venture to say much, because he wished to
avoid discussion. London, 14 Feb. 1517.

rejoicing that the universal peace is at last concluded. The
Emperor is to have 200,000 ducats^ of which one half is to be

the Emperor, the Kings of France and Castile, at Cambray. All
secrets entrusted to the Lady Margaret come to the knowledge of
Chievres and the Chancellor, either through the Governor ofBres
or others about her, though she dors not favor the French. The
King will be cautious, therefore, what he says to any one belonging
to her and residing in England,

G«ll»i,B.T. 87. Since the Emperor has come to these parts, his dissimulation is

B. M. more apparent ; for the Spaniards, who expected that when he came

he would punish the governors and put down their enormities,
now seeing his favor towards them, follow the times. They have
caused the surrender of Verona, for which the Emperor will have
a pension from Spain. They have concluded a marriage between
Madame Eleanor, the eldest daughter of this house, and the Prince
of Portugal, for a sum of money, of which the Emperor shall have
part. " Thinketh your grace that the Emperor, being always
prodigal, and consequently continually in necessity and need, which
selleth his blood and honor in this manner for money, will keep
any promise that he hath or shall make unto the King ? At Ville-
fort, where he did give audience unto the French ambassadors, he
said to the King, at his dci)arting, * Mon filz, vous ales trumpet les
Fran^oiz, et moy je ra trumper les Angloise ; and immediately
revoked his Avord, and said ^ Nonnc,je ra voire ce que je puis f aire
avec(/uc les Anglois,* " It would be -tedious to write all his dis-
simulations. If he might have couns(»lled the Lord Chamberlain, he
would have dissuaded him from making any overture about the
governors. He might have Peon that their authority increased
after their communication Avith the Emperor, and everything was
betrayed to tiiem the next day.

Thinks Wolsey 'i* propo.sition to break the marriage between
Spain and France not advisable, because the King of Spain binds
himself to renounce "vaplys, and if he does not fullil it he will give
occasion to the French to annoy liim, «nd great slander to England
for being the cause of it. " The Lord Chievres hath begun to
satisfy the King's pleasure, and sulfered him to enter in ludum
Ve/ieris, and therefore I cannot think lliat he will abide the time
of the young Princess of France ; so that, with little sufferance of
time, your grace shall see that he that was first cause of the said
man-iage shall be like cause of breach of the sameand loss of Naples
also.*' His couiing to England will only cause expence, and be no
good. He will be governed by Chievres, and all liberality will be
throiMi away ; and if he confirmed any treaty it would be excused
that he was not at liberty, as Philip his father refused the treaty
concluded at Windsor. The meeting of the King and the Emperor

will be loss of money, time and reputation, unless Wolsey will *
descend to the same means as the Emperor, who has " neither money
nor ware for any prince to thrive by that meddleth much with him."^
The money will be better spent in strengthening Tournay or
attacking the Scots. As for the resignation, '* meras sunt nugae.**
Nothing is more likely to disturb the governors than the discontent
of the Duke of Alva, the Duke Del Infantazo, the Constable of
Castile, with the Cardinal of Toledo in Spain, and the governors here»
These malcontents should be moved to send a protest to the King, that
Castile was not wont to be governed as it is now ; and that whereas
the late King did leave Naples free to the crown of Castile, the
governors have made it tributary to France ; complaining also of
the treaty of Noyon as made solely for the interests of France, and
requesting him to repair immediately to Castile to consult with the
lords there. They are naturally fierce, and will follow out their
opinions if backed by England. Now is the time, as the governors
and the Cardinal of Toledo are reconciled.

Received on the 13th two letters from the Master of the Rolls at
Mechlin, for the Emperor, from the King and Wolsey, which he
sent by Richmond. Spinelly, on inquiring about them, said that
they concerned the removal of the governors, and that the Emperor
had delivered them to Chievres and the Chancellor, who were very
angry. If they contained any such thing, the governors knew the
contents ; if not, Knight thinks Spinelly was suborned to ascer-
tain whether any such thing was thought of. Spinelly says he will
write. Thinks the King should call home his ambassadors. The
Pope is French, and all from Rome to Calais. Begs Wolsey to
excuse his plainness. Brussels, 16 Feb.

Galla, B. v. 91. On the 14th the Emperor at Brussels swore to the treaty of

B. M. Noyon in the presence of the King of Castile. This day Chievres

and the Chancellor go to Cambray to contract a marriage betwixt
Madame d'Angouleme and the Emperor with a dowry of 500,000
crowns. Lewis Maraton, in whom they have no fantasie of fidelity
for all his painted words, says the Emperor will come to Mechlin
to treat with them respecting an answer from England to their
letters of the 12th. He is anxious to discover the feeling of
England. They have given their opinion not to trust him, "for
here we see nothing but abusion by fair words to suck money from
our master and to deceive him in the end." The Emperor refused
to see Worcester, who had desired to come familiarly to him as one
of his servants. Sion gives good words, but has no such influence
as was supposed. Thinks that he knew of the treaty of Noyon
before. The King of Castile will not come to the meeting
between the King and the Emperor — his pretence to avoid a
meeting with the French is a mere blind. Tunstal advises to make
the best of the amity as it stands, to consider it as binding, and
not remit the matter to the Emperor, my Lady, Cardinal Sion,
or any stranger to lead the bridle of his affiurs any longer. The

settled. The Archbishop, whom he visited a few days back, talked
mucli about him. He is rid of all business, and lives in happy
retirement {otio felicissimo). Has read his comment on Ps. I. and
admires his Copia. Wonders Erasmus should praise his fortune,

2958. [Hen. VIII.] to [the Earl of Worcester and others.]^

Galba,B.v.364. Has received their letters dated MechliD, 12th and 13th, showing

B. M. tlicir communications with the Emperor, the Archduchess and the

Cardinal of Sion. The answers they had received indicate distrust
and untowardness. Although the King had written to them, on
receiving the resolution of the Emperor to ratify the treaty of
Noyon, to express sharply the King's dissatisfaction, yet, as Sion has
assured Wolsey that the Emperor is determined notwithstanding to
perform all he has promised to England, the King thinks it neces-
sary to refrain for a time. " For remembering the brittleness of the
Emperor, and of what prompt[itude] he is to subdain mutations,
seeking ofjten occasions upon light displeasures to color his un-
constant dealing, and so cawsclcs to depart from a friend, better it
is to dissemble for a season till we may see the end, than by such
means to provoke his further displeasures," otherwise all their
labors will be lost. They are to say that though the King was
somewhat pensive at the deliverance of Verona and his acceptance of
the treaty of Noyon, yet, considering his wisdom, the King is willing
to think all for the best, and will expect the ful61ment of his promises.
They are also to remove from the Emperor's mind all notion of the
King's unpopularity with his nobles and subjects. They are to
proceed warily in urging the removal of such councillors as are in
authority there, and to feel the Emperor's mind touching the inter-
view with the Kings of England and Castile, and, if possible, to have
it in Calais.

Notwithstanding their advice that the King should not accept
any one of the four ways proposed for the confirmation, to avoid
giving France an occasion to triumph, the King thinks it better to
accept the fourth : the words redditus et emolumenta are not of
much importance. They are to cause the treaty to be confirmed
anew within three months by the King of Castile ; to which, Sion
writes, the Emperor is agreeable. The French supposed that the
King of England, who pretends title to France, expected by those
words to have succor from the King of Castile in recovering the
revenuesof France, which never was intended, but rather to assist
in recovering the rents and dowers of the Queen of France (Mary)
in case the King attacked it on refusal. The other clause, ^^ grave
damnum^ &c." is suflieient. They are to inform the Emperor that
they have written to the King of England, and received his answer.
Assented to the premises, and expected that within three months he
will cause the treaty to be confirmed anew with the words redditus^
&c. inserted.

The Earl op Worcester and Tunstal to [Hen. VHL] — coni.

Things have succeeded so differently from what was expected, that
they know not how to act until they receive further instructions.
The Emperor lias ratified the treaty of Noyon without asking the
King's consent, concealing his intentions from the ambassadors
until the very day. Hearing that he was about to do this in spite
of his promise made to them at Brussels, they with great impor-
tunity obtained an interview, and warned him of the dangers it
would bring on himself and the King of Castile. Were heard
patiently, but received no answer. The Emperor went to Brussels
the same day, and swore to the treaty in his own name the day
following. My Lady also dissembled with them. The Cardinal of
Sion, who told them of it before the Emperor left, pretended to have
done his best to prevent it. The thing had evidently been long
I resolved on. The authority of the governors has increased rather

than diminished. Doubt much if the Emperor ever intended to
remove them. Have not said anything about them, either to the
Emperor's Council or to Cardinal Gurk : for if the thing had
become known to the King of Castile, it would have confirmed
their authority for ever.

As to the confirmation of the amity between Henry and the
King of Castile, have shown in what stage it is in their letter of
the 12th. Told the Emperor on their first coming that they had a
commission to treat for a meeting between Henry, himself and the
King of Castile, but were informed by Cardinal Gurk that the
Emperor conbidered everything depended upon the confirmation.
Think it better, therefore, hot to urge the meeting ; first, because
they do not know how Henry may take these repeated violations
of promises, and, secondly, because Hesdin told Worcester that the
King of Castile will not go further than St. Omer's to any meeting,
and that he had seen the copy of a letter sent by Cardinal Gurk
to the Pope, advising his holiness to dissuade the King of Castile
from confirming the alliance with England : so that the Cardinal is
evidently in the French interest. No overture has been made to
them on the Emperor's part for remodelling the treaty with
England, except the four ways of which they wrote on the 12th.
Have used all importunity to obtain audiences of the Emperor, but
have only succeeded twice : once before he went to Antwerp,
where he bid them remain behind him, and once at his return
thence before he went to Brussels, where he has now been eleven,
days, ordering them meanwhile to remain at Mechlin and wait his
arrival. On receiving an answer to their letter of the 12th, will
use all diligence and be plain with him, as they have been already
with my Lady and the Cardinal Sion. Have no confidence in the
former concealing anything from the King of Castile's Council.

arrived here late last night. The King of Castile and his sister are

26 Feb. 2968. The Earl of Worcester and Tunstal to [Hen. VIII.]

Galba,B.v.lOO. Wrote last on the 24th. That same morning the Emperor sent

B. M. to them to know if they had had an answer from the King to their

letters of the 12th. Were sent for the same day by the Emperor,
who told them, the Cardinal of Gurk only being present, that since
he had been at Brussels he had deliberated with the King of Castile's
Council, and it was suggested that, besides the four ways already
mentioned, a fifth was practicable, viz., that as all the difficulty lay
in the words redditus et emolumenta^ in case the French refused
payment of the pension due to England the thing might be referred
to the arbitration of the King of Castile and the Emperor, named by
France and England respectively; and that the King of Castile and
he had empowered their commissioners at Cambray to do what
they could in the matter.

Replied that as the French King was bound by his oath and
under the censures of the Church to pay the pension, which he had
hitherto done regularly, they could not see that there was any
occasion to compromise it ; and, as it was a question between Henry
and the King of Castile whether those words should stand in the
treaty, they could not understand what was meant by proposing to
refer it to the latter. Decline to advise how the matter should
be framed, having no commission to treat, but were ready to refer
to Henry any suggestion for securing this pension. Asked the
Cardinal of Sion afterwards the meaning of the overture, who said
he could not tell, and that he had told the Emperor himself it would
Ibok like an intrigue of the French through him to render payment
of the pension less secure. Reminded Sion that the Emperor had
expressly promised by him not to accept the treaty of Noyon with-
out Henry's consent. He replied that he had gone no further than
he was charged to do ; he had made the promises in sincerity for his
part, which my Lady Margaret had made as well ; that he thought
he had made the Emperor ashamed of himself; that he had re-
ceived letters out of England, imputing it to him that faith was not

kept ; to which he would reply, sliowing that he had done th
best he could ; that he believed nevertheless the Emperor wouU
no more forsake England than his own nephew (grandson) th-
King ; and that the governors were not in such favor as th(
used to be.

Keplied they could only judge of men's thoughts by their deedff*^
and that the Emperor still trusted the governors, having commis— —
sioned them to treat on matters of such great importance. On theif
alluding to the proposed marriage of the Emperor to my Lady otf*
Angouleme, the Cardinal said he did not believe it. Think, froim.
what they have heard at Brussels from Sir Thomas Spinelly, th&
governors intend that the King of Castile, as surety for the French
King, shall promise that the pension be truly paid. After the
interview the Emperor sent them word by Wingfield that they were
too young by eight days, referring, as they supposed, to the return '
of the governors from Cambray. Cardinal Gurk told Wingiield it '
would be a fine sight to have all the four Kings meet together. The ,
day after the overture, being Ash-AVednesday, was a great and
solemn joust, at which the King of Castile was present. It was . ,
appointed on that day on his account. This morning the Emperor •
left for Liere ; thence he will go to a castle beside Antwerp. The
ambassadors are to stay at Mechlin and send him word when they
have answer to their letters of the 12th. Mechlin, 26 Feb. Signed.

The King has seen the articles devised by the Earl of Worcester
at his last being at Tournay, for the citadel there. He thinks the
same too costly, and therefore commands the following: 1. The
wall newly begun for enclosing the citadel is to be raised such a
height as to make it defensible. 2. The tower at Port Brul^, the
gate and drawbridge at Pont Chateau to be set forward ; and
all other works suspended at present, that the garrison may enter

St. Quontin to form some marriage alliance >vith the Emperor,

B. K» Received on the last day of '' this month ** the King's letters of

the 23rd« Sent messengers to the Emperor near Antwerp to say
they had received an answer from the King. Next day he came
to Mechlin, and appointed 7 o'clock at night for an audience.
Had previously consulted the Cardinal of Sion how to obtain the
Emperor's signature to a promise that he should within three
months declare his intention, whether the words reddUus^ ^c,
should stand in the treaty to be confirmed by the King of Castile.
He advised them to introduce the matter in their overtures as if they
mistrusted nothing.

That evening had audience in the presence of Sion, Berghes,
De la Roche and two others. Declared to the Emperor the King's
answer, viz., that although the treaty had been passed by the King
of Castile's plenipotentiary, and therefore did not require confirma-
tion, and although it was more beneficial to Charles than to
England,— considering that the realms of the former lay far apart,
and the titles of several of them were disputed, — ^yet the leaving
out of those words touched the honor of England ; as it would give
the French occasion to boast that they had gained their purpose, in
spite of the promise made to Henry that the treaty should be
ratified at the Emperor's descent. England, however, is content
to accept the fourth way of compromise, and trusts that, as the
Emperor had confirmed both the amity of England and the treaty
of NoyoRy^.he would within three months "give like laud and
arbitrament by his decree, as he hath shown by his example," that
the foresaid words should stand in the treaty, and that he would
cause it to be confirmed within that time. As the French are
confident that they can get the treaty modified to England's dis-
advantage, requested the Emperor to write the King a letter
stating that he would within three months cause the words now
omitted to be reinserted. Declared further that, although Heory
had not been prepared for his acceptance of the treaty of Noyon, he
could not believe but that the Emperor would in time fulfil his
promises. Assured him that, whatever was said to the contrary, no
King of England during these 600 years had had such loyal sub
jects as Henry.

Again sought to know his majesty's answer to Henry's overture
for a personal meeting. The Emperor made answer himself in
Latin, saying he understood Henry would be satisfied to leave the
matter to him, *^ dummodo per scriptum suum declararet se velle
arbitrari pro maj estate vestra." He said he did not understand
dummodo^ and, if Henry would confide in him, he would order the
matter to his satisfaction. They replied that Henry did so, and
requested him to write a letter to him, as above, which he agreed
to do, but before giving further answer he would speak with his
Council. Wherever the Emperor heard that dummodo it was not
from them. Next day the Emperor left for the Castle of Veura,
where he was met by Chievres, who had left the Chancellor at
Cambray, as they could not agree on certain points. Received
a message from the Emperor to repair to Brussels for their
further answer, which they did next day, viz., the 3rd inst.
The Emperor being occupied with Chievres and others they had
no answer till yesterday, when my Lady sent for them and Sion.
De la Roche gave answer in the Emperor's name, thanking Henry
for the confidence he reposed in the Emperor, in return for

Galba, B.v. 117. Have written at length in their other letters sent herewith what

B. M« is done touching the confirmation of the amity and the meeting of

the King and Emperor, but have not informed him how they
obeyed his letters of the 23rd ult., desiring them, before commit- .
ting to the Emperor the insertion or exclusion of the words, redit-
tuSy S^c. to obtain from him an acknowledgment under his hand
and seal that those words might stand in the treaty without dero-
gation to the honor of the King of Castile. The King, however,
instructs them, if they cannot obtain this by fair words, to put the
exclusion of those words entirely in the Emperor's arbitrament. Not
to press the Emperor too hard they showed the first way to the
Cardinal, desiring him to tell the Emperor he had promised in his
name such writing without being pressed. This the Cardinal was
content to do : nevertheless they cannot find such a promise in the
copies of the Cardinal's letters that were enclosed in Henry's.
Endeavored, though contrary to their own opinion intimated in
their letters of the 12th ult., to put the exclusion of the words in
the Emperor's arbitrament. Cannot understand why the Cardinal
of Sion wrote that the Emperor's impression as to the existence of
disaffection in England was owing to some of those who treated
of Henry's afiairs here. As to what Cardinal Gurk wrote, that
Henry's affairs are not treated as they ought to be, he is by no
means favorable to England. He is about to go to Almayn,
whether for sickness or other cause they know not. He has been
these eight days at Antwerp. If he come here will give him
Henry's letters, and deliver their charge to him.

As to Henry's commission to procure the ratification of the
other amities between him and the King of Castile, and also
between Henry VII. and the late King, his father, think this
cannot be done with any effect till the King arrive in Spain, and
be in possession of his realms, when it should be done both by him
and his mother; and that since Henry sent his own ambassadors to
him to renew the league he ought to send his to England for the
confirmation. Seeing also they have no commission, nor a con-
firmation by Henry to give in exchange, must await further orders.
Remind the King that his demand for a confirmation of the amity
between Henry VII. and King Philip was refused by Charles*
Council after long debating, and a new amity made which annuls
all former ones. Think the Emperor is not inclined to come to
Brussels as he promised. These five days past he has gone all
round it, and now is returned to Mechlin or Lyre.
Chievres has told my Lady and Berghes that he hoped in six

months to be as high in Henry's favor as those who reckoned
themselves the best English. Worcester was told by mj Lady and
Berghes that the Emperor would not leave these countries till the
King of Castile was in Spain, and his younger brother here.
Understand the French have made extravagant demands at Cam-
bray, requiring all the lords of the Low Countries, Naples and
Spain to bind themselves and their land under an interdict for the
observance of the treaty. Are afraid to solicit the Emperor for the
removal of the governors, considering the confidence he reposes in
them. Have in no way hinted to the Emperor or my lady Henry's
dissatisfaction, but kept the contents of his displeasant letters
secret, till they received an answer to theirs of the 12th. Only
showed the Cardinal of Sion that the promises made by him had
been violated. Brussels, 6 March. Signed,

attempt to move the Emperor unless he send for them. After his
coming Chievres and the Chancellor by their surmises had turned
the Emperor from the King, but now his confidence is restored,
and he hopes to order all things to the King's service. Berghes
says he is well disposed to England. Lady Margaret desires him
to write to Wolsey for payment to the merchants of 6,000 fl. of
gold, part of the 12,000 paid to the Emperor, for which she and
Sir Robert Wingfield stand bound on Wolsey's letter, of which he
encloses a copy. Sir Thomas Spinelly cannot bear the charges
with the allowance he has, and would have gone over now with
Dr. Knight to the King. He says he has often written to Wolsey,
and received no answer. Wishes to know what answer he must
make to the Dean of Tournay in the matter of which he wrote.

reasonable that France should be at the trouble to give up Brescia
and Verona, only to take them back again. As it has been an-

passed. The Dean will not fail ** d'en tenir propoz " to the per-

that the matter will be carried on without dissimulation, they will
find good faith in their correspondence, and such as ought to con-

purpose, and only to sound the wishes of the writer's master, and
hold out expectations which are never to be gratified (?), he will
have the goodness to say so ; because the writer has entered upon
this matter honestly and frankly. He will reply more openly, and

shall be better able when he sees who is with his said

GaIba,B. r. 126. Sunday last Chievres, the Chancellor and Felinger returned from

B. M. Cambray, and on Monday went to the Emperor at Alost The

Pope's solicitors and Quintana had told him that the result of the
meeting has been kept a profound secret. The report is that
nothing has been perfect It/ concluded, and the resolution for the
meeting is prorogued. The Audiencer showed him many good
articles in the treaty, none prejudicial to England. He expects a
final answer from France within ten days. The meeting will not
take place before Easter. Chievres and the Chancellor expressed
their determination that the King their master should not " make
the compromise in his majesty concerning the two words in the
treaty between his grace and the said King.^^ They will conclude
it without them, showing in what little estimation they hold the
Emperor. Felinger atid others about him make believe it is done
for the best, but it touches the honor of the Emperor, who has now
great occasion of offence against Chievres and the Chancellor,
Quintana has leave to go home for four months. The men of
Utrecht have consented to receive the Lord Admiral for their
Bishop. Chievres' nephew is to be his coadjutor. By letters
dated from Rome, the 9th, the Cardinal St. Peter ad Vincula was
dead the same morning ; the vice-chancellery was given to the
Cardinal de Medici, with an abbey in ih^ Duchy of Milan worth

17 March. 3021. Clarencieux to Wolsey.

^ O. Has shown the substance of his instructions to Albany and the

Council, They wished him to deliver the King's letters of proro-
gation under the Great Seal, and to receive the like from them, but
would not " have any word specified of the letters of recess within
the letters of provision for the Queen of Scots." They delivered
him a letter after their minds on that subject, which he encloses.
Protested, in the presence of the Duke and divers of the estates,
that if they would not pass the letter of provision word for word
as in the minute, he would make no delivery of the book of proro-
gation or safeconducts. The Duke was much displeased, and said the
conventions had been already concluded and passed under the Great
Seal, and it was dishonorable not to deliver the confirmation of
them; that he and all the Council of Scotland had devised the
provision for the Queen in such wise as they hoped would have
satisfied Henry. He swore many great oaths that her grace would
be heartily welcome in Scotland, and that they would all do her
as great honor as to their King ; that if she came, and the Duke
were in Scotland, he and all the nobles would go to meet her ;
that she would be allowed twenty-four English men and women
to accompany her, and that if she wanted more they would pro-
vide as should be thought reasonable. Albany says he still con-
tinues desirous of seeing the King, and that nothing would grieve
him more than that the project should fail. The Scots and French-
men in Edinburgh say plainly that the Emperor and the French
King were to meet at this time at Cambray, and that there will
be great triumph and alliance made between them and the young
King of Castile. Finds both Scotch and Frenchmen are more
highminded than they were before.

Wolsey will see by the letters of Dacre and Magnus that they
have detained him here till they know the King's further pleasure.
Has the King's patent of prorogation and the two safeconducts.

B. M. them by Clarencieux on his way to Scotland to consult with

Albany, have made sundry prorogations of peace, at the request of
the King of Scots, "bearing date and effect till the 16th day of this
instant month of March." Enclose four letters thus received, and
one from Clarencieux stating that the Lords of Scotland will not
consent to the article touching the Queen's dower, according to
the late recess at London, and have altered the French minute
devised by the King's highness touching the same, and her passing
and repassing into Scotland. Enclose a copy of the same. Albany
and the Council are greatly exalted by news received out of France
of the amity betwixt the Emperor, the French King, and the
young King of Castile.. This makes them more impracticable.

Albany, a third to Sir William Scot, devised with the utmost cir-
cumspection to induce them to listen to Clarencieux's proposab; all

which they refuse, saying they will stick to such conclusions that

the comprehension of France. Send copies of the correspondence.

Have received letters from the Abbot of Dryburgh and Sir
William Scot, the Scotch commissioners, that they are willing to
accept reasonable terms, if Dacre and Magnus can find any better.
Accordingly have replied, and prorogued the peace till 20 April,
as appears by the letter enclosed, to give time to his grace for
further deliberation. Thinks it would be unrleasonabl^ to break
with the Scots at this time of year, who would be perfectly ready
by the middle of May, and they not before Midsunmier. Propose
that the Scotch terms should be received with certain modifications,
which they think would be adopted, and thus prolong the time till
winter, when they can do the Scotch great harm, and destroy great
part of the border. The Queen would not lose much in the interval.

Galba, B. y. 128. Has spoken to the Emperor, but not yet had on answer. Under-

B. M. stand.^, however, that a treaty has really been signed at Cambray

by the Emperor, the French King and the King Catholic, leaving
a place for the Pope, another for the Swiss, and another for the
King of EngLind, and setting aside the Venetians. The Catholic
King will give his oath to the treaty with England, the words
** proventus et emolumcnta " being left out. Sees no indication that
he will agree to the Emperor's arbitration, but some other provision
will be proposed for securing the King of England's pension &om
France. Cannot discover on what shores, or with what favorable
winds, the long desired interview is likely to take effect. This is
purposely kept in the dark. When at Brussels, heard rumors that
the French King was going to besiege Tournay, and replace the
Bishop ; that tlie Swiss captains brought to him by . . • . {per
Vicecomitlem] . . . calvum) persuaded him to hire 6,000 of them
in place of the discliargcd lanceknights, besides which he was going
to have as many adventurers.

Since coming here, learned that Bontemps, treasurer of Burgundy,
notifying to the Emperor the death of the Abp. of Besan9on, who
was Lord Verges' son, and desiring the see for his brother, the
Prothonotary of Burgundy, warned him that 4,000 Germans had
^ collected in Burgundy, either in aid of Francis de Sickengen, who is

carrying on war with the Emperor at Worms, or for an expedition
against Tournay, or to join the Duke of Gueldres in order to
prevent the King Catholic's going into Spain. Hears also that
though 4,000 Germans were discharged from the French service,
they had been induced to go into Picardy, where they w^ould again
be taken into pay, and that part had already crossed the Seine. At
Liege 4,000 Germans arc expected, and some French horse. News
having come that the ai'uiy of Francis de Ruera, formerly Duke of
Urbino, in Italy, has been lost for want of pay, Sion told the
Emperor he had heard the contrar}', viz., that their wages had been
paid on the 3rd, which the Emperor would hardly believe. A
knight has come in six days from the Duke of Nazareth (Najara ?)
in Spain, bringing word that Frenchmen, under the guise of pil-
grims to St. James, were intriguing with the lords and people of
that country, and buying up all the horses. Termont, 20 March

P.S. in Sion^s oxen hand, — The Spanish knight also says he
has discovered that the French King will keep no promises, but do
all in his power to prevent the King Catholic's going into Spain ;
perhaps also invade England. Sigjied,

B. M. This day, by the Emperor's command, came to Lyer, where the

• Cardinal of Sion, sent by the Emperor to meet them, informed them

that by report of spies in France a great number of footmen had
come down into Champagne ; that they were not dismissed, but
still retained in wages ; and that he thought it advisable that the
3,000 lanceknights discharged by the King- of Castile should be
kept from joining them by the ambassadors promising each of them
a florin till Henry's pleasure was known. As to the audience, they
would hoar from the Emperor tomorrow whether they should go to
him, or he to them. Replied that if the forces were intended for
any new enterprise against Charles or the Emperor, England would
be ready with the assistance she was bound by the treaty to con-
tribute, and trusted they would do the same in case it were intended
against her ; that they had no commission to offer pay for any such
men, and the doing so might lead to serious .consequences ; that if
the 3,000 foot discharged by Castile were to join the others, they
would not endanger Tournay, which is victualled for a year, and
has 4,000 Englishmen in it, laborers and others, well supplied with
weapons and ammunition. Not even 10,000 or 20,000 such could do

much to heart the letters he had received from Wolsey and the
King. As for the charge of neglect, it seemed impossible that all
knowledge of that infamous bull ('^ cum dira ilia bulla per tot

menses expedita fuisset ^) could have escaped Worcester, had he
ased ordinary diligence, and been as attentive as usual among the
officials of the Palace. Are ready to accept his explanation ; for
how could he discover that which the Pope (Princeps) had so stn-
dioQsly concealed ? Neither the King nor Wolsey ever thought of
accusing Worcester of perfidy. His rank, the rewards for his
services he now has in England, and those which he may expect,
to say nothing of his long employment, make such a suspicion
impossible ; but it was deemed right that the scandals disseminated
by Worcester's enemies should be brought to his notice. Not,
indeed, that the King or Wolsey is inclined to lend a ready ear
to his detractors, or ever will be. The King is not sorry to see
that Worcester has so much dread of his displeasure, and is his
friend ; as Wolsey will always be, for he cannot forget the good
offices Worcester has rendered him.

Has explained to the King Worcester's letters in reference to the
bishopric of Toumay ; for which Wolsey is only concerned as it
touches the King's honor and the security of that town ; — as for
himself, he has never received a fttrthing from it. Must be satis*
fied with the Pope*s excuses, and his promise, conveyed in Wor-
cester's last letter, to revoke the bull of the Elect of Toumay.
Worcester is to send word if the promise be not observed. He is
not to allow the dispute to be protracted ; for it is beneath the
King's honor, who has done so much for the Pope, to have a liti-
gation about two breves with a contemptible fellow in so patent a
matter. Had only two breves* of the same form, which he was
compelled to send to Toumay. By the letters sent him Worcester
will understand how the cause stands at present.

Thanks him for the two very handsome Cardinals' hats (galert);
begs him to send over some birretia, according to the pattern sent.
The last he received from Worcester were too big for his head.
Will arrange for Worcester's money, next week, with Briccio Suz
(Brian Tuke ?), and see him repaid the money he has laid out.
Sends him 500 gold crowns, partly for payment of the Cardinal of
Ancona, part for proctors and notaries, as expenses for the bull
De ordinandis clericis. The King begs him to expedite the
business of his organist Diony sius (Memo).

Will receive with these, a letter for the Pope touching Toumay,
another for reformation of the calendar, another for the crusade,
another for the college on the same ; also for the Cardinals Surren-
tinns, Ancona, Bologna, and the Duke of Urbino. More secret
matters will be found in his other letters.

The Earl of Worcester, &c. to [Henry YllL]— <?o«/.

King of Castile, have remaiQed here in daily expectation of it,
trusting the Emperor's oath should have been given according
to my Lady's promise. Understand, however, that Chievres and
the Chancellor have induced the King of Castile by no means to
consent to put the omission of the words in the Emperor's arbitra-
ment. The day after they spoke to the Emperor, Sion, who had all
this time been at Brussels without having any audience of the King
of Castile, was sent for by the Emperor. Afterwards Berghes told
them that there would be no difficulty about the confirmation if the
words were left out, and that Chievres would, if they wished it,
show them the treaty lately concluded at Cambray. Replied they
need not repeat the declarations of Henry's mind on the subject,
and that they were ready, according to the Emperor's answer, to
deliver the confirmation, omitting those words for the present, and
leaving the matter to the Emperor's arbitrament, if the King of Cas-
tile would do the same. Berghes told them they had not ascertained
whether the King would submit to the Emperor's arbitrament or
not, but he would send them word.

Next day he sent to tell them he saw no towardness in the
King's Council, and that it would be better to inquire the Emperor's
pleasure. Accordingly sent Richmond to the Emperor to know
when they might have an audience, and were infoinned that next
day he would let them know his pleasure. Next day were sent for
by the King of Castile, who told them, in the presence of his nobles,
that he was determined to maintain the amity with England. The
Chancellor assured them that nothing had been concluded at Cam-
bray contrary to the English alliance, and that the King would let
them see the treaty. Nevertheless, his master was willing to enter
A stricter amity if he might with honor. On this Worcester replied
Ihat Henry's intention to maintain the amity was no less cordial
than that of Charles; and that they had come to Brussels, by the
command of the Emperor, for the express purpose of perfecting the
confirmation. Were answered that the King would commission
certain persons to show them his further mind. Chievres and the
Chancellor were immediately deputed for that purpose, from whom
they obtained an answer that the King was ready to enter any
league with England consistent with his honor, and to confirm the
league made by his ambassadors in England, with the omission of
the words relative to invasion. Touching the fourth way they
were silent. Replied, that the King had already consented to refer
it to the Emperor's arbitrament ; and, if the Emperor pronounced
for a new confirmation, trusted the King of Castile would be con-
tent; and that it touched his honor not a little to refuse confirmation
of a treaty made by his authority. They said the Spanish ambas-
sador had only been commissioned to conclude a defensive league,
and had exceeded his powers, and that the same reasons which led
him to refuse the confirmation induced him not to refer it to arbi-
tration. Informed the Emperor of this answer ; who sent to them
Lewis Marroton, desiring them to wait two days, and he feared not
all should yet be to their satisfaction. That day the King of Castile
went to the Emperor, who, however, fruitlessly attempted to induce
him to a compromise.

This day had an audience of my Lady, in which a letter was read
to them from Cardinal Gurk, recommending a proposal, by whom
they know not, which the ambassadors declined as unsatisfactory.

the Dean's answer, dated the 16th ; also a later letter of the Dean,
and one of the Lord Bussy, Grand Master of France, and a copy of
his answer to the Dean's last. Does not intend to write to him any
more, since he has sent his first letter to the Grand Master, but
believes those he has written will do little hurt. Desires to have
instructions what he shall do further in the matter. Today one
Sir Richard Ponder, son of Grantham, a merchant, whom Sir John
Hussey knows, has been with him. He has been in the French
serrice eight or ten years. Thinks the French King and my Lord
of Suffolk were well advised of him. .He now wishes to go to
England, and desired Worcester to write for his pardon, having
been in the company of Richard de la Pole before the King's last
wars : he refused, however, to attend De la'Pole in the wars, and was
on that account put in prison at Paris. He promises to reveal many
things to the King, and to the King only, if he have his pardon,
which he wishes given to his brother, who knows where to find
him. Sends a bill of some information communicated by him.
He begged Worcester's intercession, with tears in his eyes, saying
the French are so set against England that he cannot bear to remain
there. Has written to Bryan Tuke for more money : his day ended
on the 22nd inst. for the 500 marks received of Mr. Heron. Has
spent much of his own money besides the eight days he was in Lon-
don with sixty horses at his own cost. Begs Leonard Frescobalde
may be ordered to advance him what is necessary. Is sorry the

handguns, 10,000 Almayn rivets with saletts and wambraces, and
8^000 halberds to Albany ; that he has 50 men-at-arms of his old
companions, and that they are sending over to him a body of Swiss ;
that if the French obtain their wishes with the Emperor, they will
make a secret attempt on Tournay before the castle is finished ;
that there was a Swiss embassy at Paris when he left, which made
a secret treaty with France ; that the King had held a great council
at the time of the great muster at Cambray, with all the captains
of his ordnance and foot in France ; viz., Malard, Graunt John the
Picard, &c., and the captains of the lanceknights, viz., the Countie
of Wolfe, Gavance, Brandacre Clawde, Shynke, &c., and the four

that things are likely to run contrary to the King's expectations.
After this rejection it would be better to stand to the old amities
than to make further application and be deceived, which will be
the case if the King consent to the omission of the two words.
Their last answer was that they would only accept the league with
the omission of the words about invasion. Pretend not to be sur-
prised at their strange dealing. Sion is not omnipotent with the
Emperor, though he wishes well to England. If the King consent
to the omission of the words, he must send either a new confirma-
tion, or a commission to the ambassadors to strike out certain other
words. Begs to have a brief answer. Brussels, 24 March.

Swiss may be soon lost in [two] ways : 1. if they suspect their

Galba,B. v. 140. Have explained in other letters their proceedings, in the hope of

B. M. obtaining the King of Castile's confirmation. Cannot understand

the change, or whether the Emperor be pleased with it or not.
The councillors went from Brussels to Allost, a town which highly
favors the Emperor, to inform him of the said mutation. Think
they would not have done so if it had displeased him, and that, if
tlie objects of tho Emperor and the King of Castile really differed,
they would have had conferences during the absence of these coau*
cillors at Cambray. Have remained at Brussels by the Emperor's
command since the beginning of the month, and have not been.
visited by any of the King of Castile's court except Berghes,
although their tarrying there has enabled the Castilians to obtain
better terms of the French at Cambray by the representation that
they bore hard upon the King of Castile. Lord Ligny told Wor-
cester he had been taunted with being an Englishman by Nassau
and Ravenstein, who said the King of England would have their
master make war if the French kept the dowry of the French Queen,
although England had dissappointed Charles of her. Worcester
replied, that Charles and his Council had refused her.

Tunstal had a visit from the Audiencer, which was not usual
with him, in which he explained that the things passed at Cambray
were of no great consequence, and not to the prejudice of England,

• 23 on Patent Roll.

some overtures tending that waj having been rejected; and in refer-
ence to the new amitj with England, he said his master could onlj
confirm it with a clear conscience if certain words were omitted,
as the Pope had written to him, and as great clerks had told him.
Tunstal replied it was well known by what importunity the Pope's
brief was obtained, and that great masters could get great clerks
to say what they liked ; that no great clerks could excuse the King
from confirming the treaty made by his own ambassador, and sworn
to by himself. On TunstaPs recapitulating the four ways proposed
by the Emperor, of which England had chosen the fourth, the
Audiencer said that way had never been brought before the King's
Counci], though the other three were. This was just before the
refusal of the King of Castile to submit to the Emperor. The day on
which this was declared Tunstal went to visit Gurk, who had been
absent from the Emperor's court ever since their coming to Brus-
sels, and gave him the King's letters and thanks for his services,
and besought his help in the King of Castile's Councils. Gurk
replied that he had understood some negociations were going on
between Henry and the Emperor, which he thought it would be
difiicult to bring to effect. He knew the Emperor by long expe-
rience, and it would be hard to make him other than Maximilian ;
that is to say, he would always use moderate means and no rigor.
Advised Henry to do the same with the King of Castile, who would
one day have need of his services. As to the refusal of the com-
promise, he thought the ambassadors had better not write to Eng-
land till they saw what came of the Emperor's effort to arrange
matters.

Ligny told Worcester that he was sent for to have the Order of
the Toison, but was refused it by Chievres, who said he was too
much of an Englishman. Cannot believe, even if Henry consented
to the omission of the two words, that they would allow the con-
firmation to pass. What hope there is of the meeting, and of the
other things promised by Sion, the Cardinal's letters to Wingfield,
enclosed in their own of this date, will clearly show. Ilesdin
said, in a passion, within these two days, that in two days it would
appear whether they might ever have hope in the Emperor. There
is now less likelihood of it than ever. Desire to know what they
shall do if the Emperor go to meet the French King after Easter.
Enclose a letter from a company of 3,000 lauceknights, dismissed
from the King of Castile's service in Friesland, who desire to enter
Henry's. Told them England was now at peace with all princes,
and if Henry required soldiers their good service to their former
master would be their recommendation. See no preparations for
Charles' going to Spain. Worcester is told the governors have
promised the French ho shall not go this year. The Emperor will
not listen to a personal meeting. Brussels, 25 March.

in the form prescribed. Are to declare the great expences of the
King in maintaining the garrison and building the citadel ; and as
this is for the common benefit of all, the charge should not fall
exclusively on the King ; that recompense in such cases is made
by common contribution, as in the city of London. He is to put
them out of hope that they can claim any such recompence by
right, and diminish the charges of the King as much as possible.

Has not made up his mind touching the reversion of the receiver-
ship requested by the town. Jerningham is to examine the point
and the duties levied on forfeited lands granted to Richmond.
Received his letters dated Tournay, 13 March, [stating the arrival
of the King's packet by] William Bartilmewe, [and that the dis-
missal of] 300 foot and 100 horse before the finishing of the
citadel would be dangerous. As by the late confederacy between the
King, the Emperor and the King of Castile, each potentate is bound
to assist the other, less danger is to be apprehended from France.

is a foe in the disguise of a friend, those of Lou vain endeavoured
to get up an attack on Erasmus sanctioned by the Pope and the
King. Has dispersed this cloud by visiting Louvain, and partly
by the favor of the nobles, and especially of the Bp. of Chieti. Is
expecting the happy response (tov j^pija/Aov tov a-wTf^piov). Should it
prove unsuccessful it is all up with him, and Ammonius will have
nothing to do but write his epitaph. Would rather have gone
twice to Rome than endured this delay. Has placed St. Jerome in

shape. Will send him a copy if he has not bought one. " Hasten

27 March. 3059. The Earl of Worcester and Tunstal to Henry VIII.

Galba, B. v. 145. The evening hefore their departure from B[ru88els1, the Audi*

B^ M. encer sent them copies of the treaties concluded at Cambray and

Noyon to be returned. Enclose copy of the new treaty at Cam-
bray. Henry will perceive from it that the King of CctstiWe
governors are high in the Emperor^ 8 favor ^ that the promises made
by Sion are not lihely to be accomplished^ and that the Emperor
has dissembled with Henry^ ever since December last» when hia
commissioners entered the peace of Noyon.

That evening Tunstal waited on the Cardinal to. give him know-
ledge of their departure the next morning. The Cardinal said that
he had* tried to advance their matters with the Emperor, but found
him disinclined ; that what he had written to Wingfield he had
learned from the Emperor'^ own mouth ; that the ambassadors of
the King of Poland, now with the Emperor, have come to demand
the Lady Eleanor in marriage for their master, who is a man of 50 ;
that the Portuguese ambassadors also make suite to have her for
their prince ; and also that the Turk has sent to Croatia with
menaces of war unless GOO horses found in that country be given up.
This last they believe to be a fiction contrived either by the French
King and these Governors to get the Emperor into Germany^ or by
Maximilian himself, to ash money from Henry by terms of the last
league for the dejfence of his dominions. Hear that the Turk is
already at war with the Sultan and the Sophie. As to the meet-
ing between Henry and the Emperor, the latter has always said he
would first see this confirmation passed ; and, as the King of
Castile is not likely to be there, will not press him till he hear
from Henry. Desire to know whether they shall follow the Em-
peror if he go next month into Almayn, as Master Spinelly has
written, seeing that none of the matters for which they came over
are lihely to be accomplished.

Since the return of the King of Castile's Council from Cambray,
the Emperor has apprised them, through various persons, that he
has heard from France that forces are gathering in Champaigne ; for
what purpose he knows not. Think this is only intended to make
Henry " seek more upon the Emperor,^ De la Roche says they
are only the lanceknights from Italy, disbanded and coming home-
wards, with a few horsemen appointed by the French King to
conduct them and prevent them doing mischief. The Bastard
Emery gives them the like information. Norroy returned from the
Emperor today, bringing a letter, which they enclose, appointing
audience with them tomorrow at Lyer. Will t^il him that Henry has
consented to his request touching the compromise, ask him what
they shall write to Henry, and thank him for his towardness in the
best words they can. Mechlin, 27 March. Signed,,

Had talked with the Emperor apai't on matters pending, espe-
cially between him and the King of France. Can perceive no
vacillation in him. He is still well disposed, but the time he
reserves for the present, fearful of a general rupture in Naples,
Spain, &c., and as the enemy have been beforehand he must make
\ use of dissimulation : but as soon as his grandson has reached

Spain, and his other grandson is m Mechlin, he will discover
men's secret thoughts, and, however appearances may be against
him, begs Henry will not think him forgetful of the main business.

the Chancellor. The whole company, it is said, will be at Evra

posts have come from Spain; and Don Leys Carroz, the Vice-
chancellor of Arragon, says things are getting every day worse
there. The Master of the Posts has news from his nephew that
the two parties " que querrellent au pryorre de Castylhe " are in
arms, and likely to fight. As to the going of the King, " depyus
quon a fayt le . . . des chanters," the gentlemen also have been
ordered to be ready by the end of next month. Has been told by
a clerk of the treasurer that 10,000 petits fiorins have been laid out
in provisions, and ten ships engaged, which are in Ze[aland'],

Brabant yesterday agreed to continue the great aid for three years

Master of the Rolls, has informed him that the Emperor is enraged
that the French have assembled, and that he wished my master
had in his pay the " p[ietons] " of Friesland to commence a new
enterprise, and obtain angclos thereby. " Monsieur, je vous nom-

Spain in England to endeavor to obtain a loan from Henry for
the King's voyage into Spain, not expecting that it would be granted,

B. M. Has received his letters this morning. Louis Berrangier, Ma-

dame's secretary, has told Richard Barradoc, with the cognisance
of the Master of the Rolls, that 8,000 German foot were about
Dijon, and it was said would come into Picardy, under the com-
mand of Dorval, to attack Tournay. Has not yet spoken to Ma-
dame's secretary, but other gentlemen of Burgundy know nothing
of the matter. Has, however, cautioned the Deputy of Tournay.
Berghes asked Chievres on Friday about these footmen, and he
said it was all a hum, and that the French had dismissed 1,400
lances, and had no money. The secretary of the Spanish Bishop
in England has been with the writer this morning, and informs
him that the Chancellor has WTitten to his master, and is sending
him a messenger, for what cause he knows not ; and that the Chan-
cellor has told him, that if England wishes to treat with the King
Catholic, it must apply to himself, and not to the Emperor. The
Council will be held tomorrow at Eure, Chievres' place beside
Louvain, where all the good things for the French were formerly
concluded. Brussels, 29 March.

sent by tlie Cardinal today to Sir Robert Wingfield, and another
directed to all the ambassadors, informing them that the Emperor
had sent for him again on the same subject. Think the letter
addressed to Wingfield a strange one. The Cardinal told them, as
he has said in the letter, that last night, after relating to him his
conference with the English ambassadors, the Emperor " fell into a
great fume suddenly, and said: All my matters goeth naught, for my
son, the King of Castile, taketh his ways ; and the King of England,
I fear, will forsake me ; and my coming into these parts was nothing
for the Frenchman, for there was no bloo<l in my body that thought
[it,] but I come hither for the King of England : and now I see all
my matters shall come to despair, and that my son shall not go into
Spain." The Cardinal also said that the news of the footmen in
Champagne had been confirmed to his knowledge, and that he
would be loth the 3,000 foot should join them : to prevent which,
he desired of them a loan of 4,000 florins to be repaid out of the
money he was to receive of England at the meeting, adding, that if
they waited for an answer from Henry it might be too late. Finally,
the Cardinal acknowledged he saw clearly the Emperor was in want
of money. Replied that, as they had written to the King on the
previous overture, and would now write again, they begged the
Emperor to wait till they had an answer ; that he might rest
confident England would keep all promises made to him if he did
the same to England. Pressed again for an audience with the
Emperor, which the Cardinal promised to do his best to promote.

R. O. Have advertised him by their other letters of the importunity made

them by the Emperor for entertainmeiit of the men late dismissed
from Friesland. Have much mused what he can mean by sending
so great a personage as the Cardinal of Sion two days together
on so small a matter ; for if those foot join with the other it will
rather affect Tottrnay than the Emperor. The Cardinal's pro^
position docs not hang together. If they consent he will expect to
have them entertained at the charges of England^ and make a
bruit to the French that these troops have been entertained against
them. As he will not give them audience they think that he
was a party to denying the compromise. lie made at Brussels

his intentions. He is come out of the highway that no 07ie may
know where he goes. Whatever advice the King sends them should
not be disclosed to the ambassadors of the King of Castile and the
Emperor^ as that will delay business, and attempts may be made to

retires when he has anything important to consult about. Thinks
it is for getting the Emperor back to Almayn, Two posts have
come lately from Spain, bringing letters only to the King, which
has created uneasiness among the Spanish nobles here, on account
of the variance between the Duke of Alva and the Duke of Vieger
for the priorate of St. John, and also the general ill will borne by
the lords to the Cardinal of Toledo (Ximenes). The Master of
the Posts heard by a letter written on the 20th, from Madrid, by his
nephew Simon de Taxis, that the two parties had assembled in
great power, and bloodshed was expected, Arragon also was in
great confusion. The King must visit his dominions, contrary to
the assertions of the Cardittal, who says he has 1,200 spears and
6,000 foot, and money sufficient to keep all things in order ^ He is
much trusted by Chievres and the Chancellor, who wish him to
rule in Spain, and themselves in Flanders, and therefore will not
hasteti the King^s departure. Nothing will induce him to go
by land, and by sea he cannot depart before September. Before
Cardinal Gm'k left Brussels he was invited to dinner with the
King, to tJie neglect of Sedunensis, and received a large present of
money of 2,000 or 3,000 ducats. He has also a pension of 2,000
golden gilders, and the promise of a bishopric of 10,000. No
wonder these ministers are in great favor with the Emperor, as all
his Couneil are bought for money.

The Emperor is now without money, and if he tarry here the
Lady Margaret will have to provide it for him. His coming here
has been of very little service. The Vice-chancellor of Arragon
tells him that Chievres will be glad of the amity of England, but
dares not let it be known, or give cause of suspicion to the French
before the King reaches Spain. Then they will show their desire far
it. Notwithstanding that Chievres and the Chancellor are strangers,
it is thought they will retain their accustomed authority in Spain,
because the country is divided into two parties, neither of wJiom
can tolerate the ascendancy of the other. The French have not
fulfilled the expectations of the Emperor of investing him with Milan,
Encloses a list of the knights created at the Toison on Lady Day
last. A marriage was proposed between Chievres' niece " and the
Lord Daussy, son to the Lord Fennys." Brabant will continue the
great aid to the King, three years after his departure. An am-
bassador will be sent into Portugal for the match between that Prince
and the Lady Eleanor. All the foot that served the King in
Friesland are cashiered. The Emperor wishes the King of
England to retain them, " saying that the French King hath many
lanzkneths for to be sent to Tournay," now between Burgundy and
Champagne, commanded by Lord Dorvall. Merlion suggests that
this is an invention of the Emperor to get money " and enter into
new business.^^ Brussels, 30 March 151 [7].

ho would not cease pursuing this object." His only object has been
to sow discord.

Visited the King on the 29th. Was well received, but he harped
upon the dangers of Venice. The King said he would not attack
any one unless he were provoked. Told the King that he was the
most fortunate, powerful and pacific Prince in the world, and that
he ought not to endanger his great prosperity by any chance except
against the Infidel. In that case he left all to God, and might by
some glorious feat eclipse Theodosius and Charlemagne. London^

31 March. 3082. Seb. Giustinian io the Dogk

Giust Desp. II. 53. In company with Pasqualigo and Bavarino has discussed the

affairs of the wines with the Cardinal, who said that the decree
passed by the parliament oifered no longer any impediment. Gives
the arguments on both sides. Finds that he is rowing against wind
and tide, "as the right reverend Cardinal aspires and aims at
nothing, save to obtain profit for his Majesty, with whom he main-
tains himself in great repute." If he find Wolsey dissents from his
opinion Sebastian will " go to the King, and state the reasons of
your Excellency to his Majesty, who will deliberate and then make
his Council decide as he may think fit ; and I shall act thus,
because I consider that his majesty is much more free and sincere
in judging what is right than the Cardinal." The Cardinal
demands a large sum of money to allow the nation to be on the
same footing as before. London, 31 March 1517.

31 March. 3083. Ammonius to Wolsey.

R. 0, On returning home from Wolsey yesterday, received the Bp. of

Worcester's letters of the 12th, containing an answer to a letter by
Ammonius, of Wolsey's dictation, that Wolsey could not believe
what he had stated in his letters respecting Cardinal Gurk's
communications with the Pope, as being utterly contrary to the
Emperor's and Gurk's honor. Worcester replies that Gurk has
been the ringleader of this abominable alliance, has received money
from the French and an ample bishopric, and has been pro-
mised by Chievres other benefices in Spain. The outcry against
the Emperor's treachery is vehement. The Pope is greatly grieved
at it. Advises the King to hold aloof for the present, as he will
be invited to join the treaty of Noyou. The letters of Cardinal
Sion to Sir Robert Wingfield point indirectly at this. Ammonins
thinks he will not comply. The old Duke of Urbiuo wants money,
and has been compelled by the Papal army to retreat. It is thought
the Duke had joined this intrigue more from his own good nature
than out of regard to the French. Worcester advises Wolsey to
borrow of the King, on good security, for the Pope's use, 20,000
or 15,000 gold ducats, by which he will not only have obliged but
bought the Pope. Westminster, last day of March.

Gdig;D.TLS77. Intelligence from France, dated last day of March 1516. John

B. Mi Gourdin, brother of one called Rozemadon, late of Captain Thiban-

ville's band, reports that being eight days ago in the town of
Therouwane, for the fortification thereof, he heard that the Sieur
de Boughieville daily goes to England ; he takes ship at Calais,
disguised as follows; scilt. a "paltocq" of lavender colour, the
cloth for which he got from England ; his doublet of grey fustian,
quilted with red thread; and white breeches. "Sy est de sa per-
sonno homme assez fume," his leg slender; of middle size. He
has a servant with him, clothed in red Abbeville cloth, with a
leather collar {collet de cuir); one of the legs of his breeches
black, and the other red. The master rides a roan with white
feet, his servant a black mare. Being at the Losingehem, four
leagues from There wane, he saw Bough ieville's nephew and a young
Scotchman, who retired after dinner into the stable, where their
horses were bridled, and after a long confabulation the Scotchman
took certain letters from his saddle, saying to the nephew: "Take
these letters to the mother of King Francis.'* As they separated
the Scotchman said : " You shall have news from me by the 15th
or 16th April." Gourdin heard this, hidden behind the next
stall. Says, moreover, that a great park of artillery has arrived at
Boulogne ; some say to lay siege to Tournay, others, to Calais.
The French were afraid to attack Tournay, from dread of the
Burgundians, but [under any circumstances] the French were ready
to attack the English territory.

the bishopric of Hereford, afterwards of Bath. Begs that his
letters may not be shown. Gives an account of Francis Maria
Duke of Urbino under Popes Julius and Leo, the appointment of
Lorenzo de Medicis to the same dukedom, the retirement of Sforza,
his attempts to recover his dukedom, his success, with the excep-
tion of the cities of Pesaro and Senigaglia. This insurrection is
attributed to the French, who are jealous of the Pope's authority
and success, are fearful of his designs on Novara, Lucca and
Piombino, and wish to support their confederates in Italy. Great
disorder is expected. Thinks the suspicion improbable, as they
have sent reinforcements to th^ Pope, which are now at Bimiui.
Surgeons are despatched to attend to Lorenzo, the Pope's nephew,
who has been wounded by a musket ball, and Cardinal S^ Maria in
Portion sent to the camp.

Yesterday had a long talk with the Pope, who spoke highly
in praise of the King ; said the Emperor was at Antwerp, and
the peace between him, the French and Charles had been already
published, and that they would have a congress after Easter.
Some do not believe it, and say that the Emperor will not leave
Flanders till Charles is in Spain, and Ferdinand, whom he will
take with him to marry in Hungary, has left Spain. Read in a
consistory this day the Papal letters to the Emperor, urging the
expedition against the Turks. It is said that the Turk is about
three miles from Damascus, on the bank of a river held by the
forces of the Sultan. It is expected he will be beaten, as he has

1 April. 3088. Spinelly to Henry VIII.

Galba, B. v. 154, Wrote last on the 30th March. News has arrived by Lamura^

B. M. cousin of the President De la Boche, who went with La Shaw into

Spain, that if the King does not take his departure an insurrection
will ensue. They have suddenly been aroused at this intelli"
gence, and delivered 20^000 florins to the victuallers and others in
preparation ; but the King cannot leave before September or
the middle of August. The governors here are inclined to rule
according to their own will, but cannot well do it whilst the Em--
peror remains there. If he do not return into Almain, considering
the contemptuous way they have treated him, they will rule without
his consent. The French ambassador La Roche came again yester-
night from Paris, and reports that England had asked for new
conventions, and been refused. Had they agreed, the Catholico and
his subjects would effectually have perceived the love that England
bears them. It was reported the Duke of Albany had been the
instrument of these practices. The Audiencer doubts not that the
treaty shall be confirmed, setting aside the compromise and the two
words.

The French King goes into Normandy. If any enterprise be
intended against Tournay, the people of the country will take part
with England, as he says ; and knowing this disposition, he can-
not believe the French will make the attempt. Lord Berghes has

iSf they are going into Picardy. He has given notice of this to the
Deputy of Toumay. The Bastard ofEsmery has been commanded
by the Emperor to assist the King^s Lieutenant of Toumay if any
necessity should arise. Great commotion has been excited in Naples
because, at the intercession of the French, the Catholico had granted
unto many of their party now in rebellion the restitution of such
goods as they had there before its conquest by the late King
Ferdinand, The King has returned from Evera. The Emperor is-
gone to Tornowt, thence to Bolduc. Brussels, 1 April 1517.

B. M. On the Ist, were informed by a letter from the Cardinal of Sion

that the P^mperor desired them to come to Antwerp, where he
would give them audience in two days. Came hither accordingly,
but found that the Emperor had left for Tournowe, on the way to
Bolduke (Bois-le-duc). Marroton wrote next day to the Cardinal
of Sion that it was uncertain whither he was going, and that the
ambassadors had better write to him urging him to remain and not
leave the business unfinished. After a consultation, the ambas-
sadors, fearing that such a request might enable Maximilian to say
that he had stayed on Henry's account, and give him an excuse for
asking money, replied, that as the Emperor's coming to these parts
was upon the affairs of the King of Castile, they trusted he would
not leave until these were arranged.

Yesterday the Cardinal of Sion told them he believed the
Emperor was about to write to the King of Castile without the
knowledge of his Council in order to set all things right ; that he
hoped Henry would consent to the omission of the words; and
that he desired the ambassadors' advice upon it. As to the inter-
view, Sion said the Emperor had only deferred treating till this
confirmation were passed, in order that he might "convey" the
King of Castile into Spain, when the governors would lose their
authority ; and that he might visit Henry on his way, when the
three Kings could meet. A friend of the Cardinal said that
inimors were spread by Charles's councillors that Henry was in-
triguing with France against the Emperor and the King of Castile,
and that he thought it advisable the ambassadors should write to
the Emperor to contradict this, and urge his Majesty to remain
in those parts till he had finished the business he came for. Beplied,
first, as to the letter, if they saw a draft of it, they would state
their opinions ; secondly, as to the meeting, that Henry would be
content with a delay if it would -secure the presence of the King of

Castile ; thirdly, as to writing to the Emperor, thej could not
suppose he believed any such reports ; and fourthly, made the same
answer as formerly to the proposal that they should ask the Em-
peror to remain. After leaving the Cardinal, received a message
from the Emperor, by the Provost of Brescia, tliat a number of foot-
men were collecting in Picardy, either against himself, Henry,
or the King of Castile, and he therefore desired to retain those
who had been discharged by the King of Castile : this he had
already intimated to them by the Cardinal of Sion, and now wished
to know if they had any answer. Replied that they had twice
written on the subject to Henry, and would intimate his answer
whenever it arrived.

This moraing waited on Cardinal Gurk, who, in the presence of
Sion and Bannisius, told them that his chaplain, the Provost of
Brescia, had brought him from the Emperor a schedule containing
a message for Sion and the ambassadors, which he caused Bannisius
to read, desiring them to remain till my Lady Margaret sent for
them to Brussels, to conclude the confirmation, as he had written to
her to act as mediator ; that on account of this holy time of Easter
nothing more could be done before Low Sunday. The ambassadors
said they were content to do as he wished, but hoped the Lady
Margaret would not send for them without knowing the King of
Castile's mind. Antwerp, 4 April. Signed,

Galba, B. v. 169. Will perceive by their other letters, in conjunction with Wing-

B. M. field, that the Emperor, since the return of the councillors from

Cambray, would give them no audience. Jle appears unwilling to
hear anythiny more said against the governorSy as he cannot help iiy
or of the confirmation^ which he cannot arrange with Henrtfs
wishes. The friend of the Cardinal Sion, mentioned in their other
letters, is Master Nicholas Siegler, the Emperor's secretary for the
Dutch tongue, aiid they believe his overture was really made by the
Emperors command. The object of it, according to the Cardinal^
was to get the King of Castile into Spain^ and deprive the governors
of their authority. Think the Empcror^s overture to Henry^ that
he should retain the foot soldiers of Friesland lately discharged^
was made with a view of getting his own horsemen into Henry s
service, of whom he has discharged 200. Henry may judge what
chance there is of procuring the confirmation through the Em^

Galba,B. v. 164. Has received his letter of the 27th ult. addressed to himself^ and

B. M. that of the 29tli addressed to Wingfield. Though so near in point

of date, their contents are widely different. The letter to himself
promises that all things will go smooth, although it defers that hope
to the time of the King Catholic's passage into Spain, and his
brothers* being brought into Flanders ; but that to Wingfield says
that everything is going wrong; and Wolsey could not have believed
that it was written by Sion unless he had seen it in his own hand.
Cannot reconcile it with his prudence that he did not perceive what
the Emperor meant by his open promises to Sion and the King of
England, and that he now seeks a pretext for deserting a friend
when he threatens to break with England unless the King will take
those Frisian foot into his pay, and that there is a danger of their
joining the French cavalry in Champagne. How is the inestimable
loss Sion is afraid of likely to arise from a few Frisians joining the
enemy ? What ground has the Emperor for breaking with England ?
Did not Sion perceive that the Emperor was in need of money when
he accepted 200,000 ducats for Verona ? Was it modest in him to
urge that the King should give 40,000 crowns for the preservation
of Verona, and then 10,000 for the Emperor's going to Flanders,
besides the 10,000 he got from the Archduchess, and promise
20,000 after the interview ? And aft;er all this had been fruit-
lessly spent, that 4,000 florins should be paid to these Frisians to
prevent a rupture with the Emperor ? Sion ought not to have
endured the words of the Emperor, that he would not give audience
to the English ambassadors, because, if refused the 4,000 florins, it
might lead to a rupture. What if it did ? the loss would be the
Emperor's : the King would have other friends, and would not be
deserted by God. There is not a promise to the Emperor he has

not fulfilled, and even done more than he was bound to do. Would
like to know what that debt was of which the Emperor ironicallj
said it should be paid before the English ambassadors had audience.
Why does he urge that he went into Flanders to meet Henry, and not
the French King? as if Henry had desired his coming, and not rather
the confirmation of the league, the diminution of the power of the
Governors, and an arrangement for the interview, not one of which
things has been done. The French, as he has already written,
with reason laugh at the King of England for bringing the Emperor,
at his own cost, into Flanders, which has only done good to them,
and enabled them to make a new treaty. If, as Sion says, the
Emperor complains of being defrauded by England, he has certainly
no reason. The King does not complain of the 40,000 crowns that
he gave for the defence of Verona, of the promises not kept towards
himself of the league entered into without his knowledge, or of the
confirmation of the treaty of Noyon. The threatened rupture the
King will take with the name equanimity as the other misfortunes ;
but it was to have been expected that Sion would have sent him
warning, and not mocked him by holding out hopes which can only
be accomplished in six months, and most likely will not be
verified then. Ex meis asdibus, 7 April 1517. Signed,

Galba, B. v. 171. [HeNRY VIII.]

B, M. This day Cardinal Gurk informed them that the Emperor was

satisfied with their answer to the overture he had made to them ;
also that he (Gurk) had been in communication with divers persons
about getting the King of Castile to agree to the confirmation ;
that it was thought he would confirm the amity with the omission
of the words objected to, and write a letter to Henry, a draft of
which they enclose, promising to conduct himself in such wise
towards the Emperor that Henry shall be satisfied. Being asked
their opinion on it, and finding that it did not tally with his speech,
they thanked hiip for his good ofiices, pointed out some objections
but offered to refer it to the King, — which he requested them to do.
Afterwards the Cardinal of Sion read to them a letter in Dutch
from Nicholas Segler, stating that the Emperor had commissioned
Cardinal Gurk to speak with them, which showed that this overture
came from his majesty ; and that the Emperor would remain here till
the King of Castile was in Spain. Antwerp, 7 April. Signed.

GiostDesp.ii. 56. As the King and the Cardinal have been engaged with the cere-

monies of Holy Week, nothing has been done. Visited the King
today, who said that the Emperor and the Kings of France and
Spain had negociated expressly against Venice ; and he repeated
the word four times at least. He said further the Swiss were also
the objects of the conspiracy, and that he and the Catholic King
were forming a confederacy which would be joined by the Pope.
Sebastian pretended to believe that the league was formed against
the Turks. The King answered. "Domine Orator! you are sage,
and of your prudence may comprehend that no general expedition

8 HENEY VnL 1007

against the Turks will ever be effected so long as such treachery
prevails amongst the Christian powers, that their sole thought is
to destroy one another ; and think how I could quit this kingdom^
when such ill will is borne me by certain persons ; nor, in like
manner, would your lords venture on leaving their dominions.'' He
said, one Friar Nicholas, a German, secretary of Cardinal de Medici,
had lately arrived here, sent by the Pope, Emperor and the King
of France and Spain, — of whom Sebastian had heard from Chiere-
gato an account he does not entirely believe. Pretended to the King
he had received letters from the Pope, informing him that the friar
had been sent to prevent the interview between the Emperor and
the two Kings, and advise a league against the Turks. The Kii^
said the friar had not come to prevent the congress ; adding, " The
said friar was present when they negociated to destroy you and
the Switzers." He asked about the ambassadors of Venice. Se-
bastian thanked the King for his good will to the Signory. Was
told by Chieregato that a confidential secretary of the Cardinal
(Anmionius ?) said, '* Our masters here are incessantly plotting
frauds and confederacies, but never effect anything ; and that the
Pope had written to the King a long brief full of gracious and sub-
missive language, little to the dignity of his holiness." States the
reason for the Pope's conduct to be the displeasure he has given to
the potentates of Europe, especially to the King of England, for
depriving the Cardinal of the see of Tournay. Popes are always
disquieted by conferences between the great powers, as the first
thing they discuss is the reformation of the Church. On this ac-
count the Pope has dissolved the session of the Lateran, which will
not sit again. Has been assured that the friar has departed on his
way to the Catholic King, and is to return shortly.

The truce between England and Scotland has been arranged.
The Queen is to return, but not admitted to the administration of
the kingdom. She may take with her twenty-four Englishmen,
and as many Scotch as she pleases, provided they be not rebels.
Has been assured of this by Albany's secretary. London, 13 April

Marche's son had come, and wished to bring them over to the Duke
of Guelders. The captain had left his company near Liege, because
they demanded three months' wages of the French King. Learned

has been discharged with others. [A large band] has been enrolled

to despair of his own mediation. Wrote on the 7th of Gurk's
overture, and of the answer they made touching the proposed letter.
Hichmoud had not as yet arrived. On the 9th Tunstal reminded
him of it, told him that Worcester, on a consultation, thought, he
might go thus far beyond his commission, to promote the King
of Castile's going into Spain, as there was no time to be lost,
summer being already begun; and said the Cardinal hod not men-
tioned that he hod made the overture at the Emperor's desire.
Gurk replied he would write to the Emperor accordingly. Siou,
to whom Tunstal next went, was as much delighted with the news
as if he had gotten a great benefice.

On the 1 Ith his friend Sygler reported that the Emperor was
exceedingly pleased with this way; that he would immediately
arrange with the King of Castile for his departure ; that the King
of Castile should retain 1,500 of the discharged Frisians; that the
remainder were dispatched by the Emperor to the frontiers of
Gueldi'es, till he had answer from Henry; and that he had made
them a prest of 2,000 florins. Yesterday Sion informed them that
the Emperor had dispatched Sygler to them with a message, which
he would give them in Latin, as Sygler could only speak High
Dutch; and that after dispatching certain errands he was going
to the Emperor at Lyer. The message was that tlie Emperor was
much gratified by Worcester's towardness, and said, on hearing of
it : " Now I see all such reports as have been showed unto me that
my cousin, the King of England, should practise with the French-
man against my son and me, be untrue ;" and that the King of
Castile and the Emperor will meet this day at the great procession
at Malines to arrange the time of the King's departure, which
would be declared to the estates of the country in May, along with
the order of the governance in his absence.

As to the form of the letter to be written to Heniy by the King
of Castile, in which reference was implied, but not absolutely
promised, to the Emperor's arbitration, Gurk said if the King of
Castile's Council did not adopt it word for word, he would see that
it was worded to the like eftect, and privately informed them that
the King of Castile was bound by a bill of his own hand, of which
none of his Council were aware, to be guided by the Emperor's
advice, both in matters of war and peace. He told them also that
the French King had been very anxious for a meeting with the
Emperor, to which the King of Castile's Council were favorable ;
that he had offered to go to Cambray for that purpose, not bringing
with him more than 300 spears, but had been refused by the
Emperor, who did not wish to give the French occasion " to malign
against his nephew " on his departure. After this, received the

King's letters, dated Greenwich, the 9th, with one from him to the
Emperor, which, being written in severe terms, thej thought it
best, under the circumstances, not to deliver : first, because it
replied to words spoken bj the Emperor in a passion before his
Privy Council, which no one ought to know but those present ;
and, secondly, because the proposition made to them at Lyer for
the support of the lanceknights was grounded upon a show of good-
will to England, and for the security of Toumay, while the letter
to Wingfield was strictly private. When the Emperor was in that
passion Sion remouBtrated with him so strongly, that Cardinal
Gurk, as he himself told Tunstal, had to interpose to pacify the
altercation ; and if the Emperor were now to find that Sion had
blabbed about the matter, he would incur great indignation. Will
not, therefore, at their audience, which is promised on the 17th,
deliver the King's letter, but express to him as much of its con-
tents as they have '^ outward knowledge " of. With regard to the
instruction to retain men of war in case of an attack upon Toumay,
Worcester desires to know in what number, and how he is to
receive money for the purpose. Learns by a spy that the lance-
knights dismissed from France are dispersed in small bands between
Lorraine and Luxembourg, and, it is thought, will return to their
country. Has sent to Tournay to prepare them against a surprise.

B. 0. Beceived at Cornell upon the East Marches, on Friday night, the

drd inst., his letter dated Greenwich, 28 March, directing that
Clarencieuz return into Scotland and deliver him letters confir-
matory, with instructions communicated to Dacre. He was to use
his host efforts to obtain a safeconduct under the Great Seal of
Scotland, as it is now reformed. Thought it best not to send
Clarencieux immediately, but to confer first with De la Bastie,
Warden of the East Marches, and other commissioners. On the
6th, De la Bastie and a secret servant of the Duke, named Thomas
Haye, came to Cauldstream Haughe, and conferred with them.
Having thus understood the Duke's intentions, sent Clarencieux
to Edinburgh with the confirmation and new additions, some part
altered by himself, concerning the Queen if she do any offence,
'* likeas your grace may perceive by the principal that your grace
sent me."

The truce was proclaimed in Edinburgh, on the 15th, to last till
St. Andrew's Day, " as my servant heard aibro eleven of the clock,
and after the dating of Mr. Clarencieux's letter," which Dacre
sends, '' l)eseeching your grace that after the coming of Claren-
cieux I may have the copy of them drawn in English, and sent
me for mine understanding ; forasmuch as I must be the executor
of them for the King's discharge." As to Wolsey's directions to
make preparations this summer against the possibility of the Scots
remaining in their " haulte and disdeynous " demeanor at the ex-
piration of the truce, had drawn up a book for the defence of the
King's marches, at the least expence to the Kinri^, and the greatest
annoyance of the Scots. Sent it by Magnus. By Wolsey's direc-
tions he and Clarencieux have made the best bruit they can in
Scotland, '' which makes the great personages of the same look
down, and the King's subjects on the Borders to make merry,
drinking wines for gladness." In reply to Wolsey's enquiry whether
guns and armor have been sent into Scotland in any great quantity,
there lately arrived in Scotland from France a knight and a herald,
with the order of St Michael, who were honorably received. It
is said the King of Castile and Albany were both made knights at
one election. They brought with them certain halberds and Almoin
rivets for the Duke's guard, but of no value. The Duke is going
to bring the King from Stirling to Edinburgh, and to change the
lords who attend upon him. Suggests the danger that may arise
if the King lie in the Castle and the Duke in the Abbey. Albany
has sent for Angus, '* who has sitten three commandments." Thinks
it would not be right to receive him in these parts while the truce
lasts. Received from the Duke, by one David Cameron, a letter
demanding deliverance of certain fugitives. Sends the letter and
his answer. Nawarde, 17 April. Signed.

he will have it, though the Emperor and the King of Arragon

oppose him ; " for they speak in war against the

EM. On the 16th the Emperor came from Antwerp to Malines, and

sent for them that evening, when Gurk expressed to them the
Emperor's satisfaction with Worcester's overture, mentioned in their
letters of the 7th and 15th. On being asked with regard to the
form of the proposed letter, which had not been shown to the King
of Castile, whether they insisted upon every word and point being
kept, they recapitulated the whole course of their negotiations, and
said they hoped that all mistrust was now at an end. The Car-
dinal said the Emperor was much pleased with all their proposi-
tions, and would tell them his mind more fully after consulting with
his Council. Next day Sion sent for them to inquire if there were
any hope of the King's retaining the foot soldiers. They answered
there was none. The Cardinal then mentioned the trouble likely
to arise from the Spaniards refusing to obey the Council of Flan-
ders, and the Flemings that of Spain, and said that if the King did
not go shortly to Spain his brother was likely to be crowned; never-
theless, the King of Castile's Council were a)>out to represent to the
Emperor : 1 st, that the King's health is so bad, he is not likely to
live more than two years, as his physicians and the astronomers
say, so that he had better not leave his native country ; 2nd, that if
he must go, he had better go by land ; and 3rd, that if the Emperor
insist on his going by sea, they will be exonerated of all blame if
anything happens.

Replied, that men who had '^ no more trust in Grod of the King's
health " were not fit to have the care of him. The Emperor has
been informed of the practices of the French by the Count of
Lynybarge in Almayn, who has served in their wars, but has now
submitted to the Emperor. That same day had a long conversation
with Gurk and Sion about a new form proposed by the Emperor
for the confirmation, to which, for avoiding further delay, they con-
sented with some modifications. To a final difficulty of the Cardinal
they agreed, sc. that the King should, if required, make a new con-
firmation without erasure, in order that the erasure of the two
words might not create suspicion that the document had been
tampered with. Next day the Emperor went to Lyer, very well
pleased, to speak with the King of Castile, whom he had appointed
to wait his return at Malines. Antwerp, 19 April. Signed.

tile, who is now at Malines, to meet him at Lyer, and treat with
him about the confirmations there or at Malines, as he will not go
to Brussels. He intends to take him to Ghent, thence to Zeland
to cross to Spain. On Worcester's telling him that it would be
inconvenient for the King to come to Zeland, he said he would
endeavor to have the meeting at Gravelin. He said that the
people in Spain were disaffected, and inclined to his younger
nephew ; that at the King's coming he would speak of the matters
proposed by Cardinal Gurk, " resign the Empire, and he to be King
of the Romans still, and after his death one of his sons to be made
King of Romans." Ho says he has the good will of five electors,
and has been granted a fourth penny yearly to subdue the rebels ;

told him that the voyage from England to Spain was two days with

advice from Bhodes that the Turkish armada had only been fitted
out because Selim was hemmed in by his enemies ; that little was
to be feared from the Turk, and more from bad Christians. He
said the peace between the Catholic King and himself was con-
cluded, and that with France broken ; that the Emperor was not
yet included, but soon would be. He further said he could trust
no one, for every one endeavored to deceive his fellows ; ** nor do I
see that there is any faith in the world, save in me, and therefore
Grod Almighty, who knows this^ prospers my afiairs." He continued
to talk in this strain, censuring the treachery of others, and lauding
his own loyalty : on which Giustinian told him, he hoped so much
virtue would induce him to fall in with some general confederacy
against the Turks. Sebastian adopted this line of argument, as he
thought it was agreeable to the intentions of the republic. Augustin

* That Wolsey was not without authority for the aasertions he made to the
Venetian envoy will be seen by the terms of agreement made at the ratification
of the treaty of Cambray, as printed in the Monumenta Hahaburgtca^ ii. 37,
dated Lierre, 14 May, and Abbeville, 14 July 1517. The Emperor and Uie
King Catholic agree to retain, as their share of Italy, Venice, Padua, Trevise,
Beiff, Bouveret, Frioli, Florence, Pisa, Livomo, Sienna and the other Venetian
dependencies not specified in the present treaty, which will form a kingdom of
lidlj, held of the Emperor by the King Catholic, or his brother, the infant Don
Fernando. The French King was to have Verona, Vincence, Lignagno, Valege,
Brescia, Crema, Bergamo, Lucca, Beggio and Modena. The fjnperor to fbrm
a kingdom of Lombardy out of the Duchy of Milan, the Marquisates of Mantua,
Montferrat, Malespine and Ancise, the Signory of Gennes, the county of Ast
and the principality of Piedmont, with which the French King will be invested.
The Marquises, &c. of the places above named to hold of &e French King.
The holders of the said two kingdoms to be bound to assist each other in lul
circumstances. The Emperor was to obtain the ratification of the electors to
the erection of the said kingdom, if necessary. The profits of the expedition
to be divided. If the execution of this partition is commenced on lands not at
present in the possession of the Venetians, the contracting parties to continue
in arms until the whole conquest is achieved. The French King to provide
600 men at arms to accompany the Emperor in his voyage to Bome to receive
the imperial crown. As Oie French King is now bound by treaty to the Vene-
tians, he cannot break with them without loss of honor, which of all things he
holds most dear in the world ; but if they give him any occasion to do so, he
will immediately assist in the said partition. The three princes are to send
envoys to the Swiss and gain their assistance ; the said princes to make arrange-
ments, should there be any appearance of difference between England and France.
The present articles having been concluded at Cambray bv the ambassadors of
the three princes, 11 March 1516, it is agreed that if within two years from
that date the French King has no cause to declare against the Venetians, or
the partition is not commenced by that time, all parties shall be free from their
obligations, and the former treaties to remain in force. It is proposed that
Lucca shall belong to the Emperor and King Catholic, the French King having
Vicenza and its territory.

Thomas and Thomas Matteston demanded why the Abbot was turned
out of his abbacy. Next day, when the reformator entered the
church, some rapped on the church door with stones ; others ran a
form against the door. On his attempting to quiet the rioters by
opening the west door, and shutting the chancel, they brake through
and came to the cloister before the chapter house. Hereupon, tibe
Abbots, fearing more mischief, sent to the Duke of Buckingham,
then at his manor of Thombury, desiring him to appease the rioters.
The Duke sent to them Master George Fooley and Thomas Cade.

26 ApriL 3174. The Earl of Worcester to [Henry VIII.]

Galba,B. T. 193. On St. George*s Day attended a solemn service, at which were

B. M. present the two Cardinals, the ambassadors of the Pope and the King

of Hungary, Duke William of Bavaria, the Marquis of Branden-
bourg, the Duke of Brunswick and his brother, on the side of the
choir opposite the Emperor ; and on the Emperor's side none but

< the English ambassadors. After service, dined with the Emperor,

none else being present, when his majesty said, " Now that there be
no moo but we two, I shall show you of many fortunes and dangers
that hath foi:tuned me since I saw last my son the King of England.
And first the marriage of your master's sister into France troubled
me right sore." He acknowledged, however, that it was the fault
of the young King's Council. He had also been in great danger in
Italy last year, by reason of the Viscount Galeas, and by the failure
in the punctual delivery of the King's money, which was the fault
of the bankers. Many of his rebels had been supported by France,
and had nearly entrapped him. To prevent these dangers in future,
he had called the electors to meet him at Mayence, on Sunday after
Trinity Sunday next. He had intended to resign the empire to the
King of Castile, and get Henry made King of the Romans ; but the
King Catholic would not agree for fear of Francis, who prefers a
claim to the Empire. He wished, therefore, that Henry would
accept one or other title, for he cared no more for it, provided they
put Henry in possession, and would make his son Ferdinand
King of Austria. He would himself make him Marshal of the
empire. On Worcester remarking that he must retain these
honors for life, and let his children have them after him, he
replied he might have been Emperor in the days either of Pope
Julius or the present Pope, who would have sent five Cardinals to
crown him, but he had never cared for it, always intending to take
the name of Emperor of Constantinople, of which he is rightful
heir. He then said he would have his son go to Spain immediately
after confirmation of the league, and would accompany him to
Dover, where the three Kings might confer on the matters treated
of by the Cardinal of Sion, and said he would draw up a memorial
of his intention, which none of his secretaries should sec, but which
he would dictate to Wingfield, and which Worcester should com-
municate to England in cipher. Worcester said he hoped, if the three
Kings met at Dover, the Emperor and his son would land for a

night or two. The Emperor said he intended his son to go from
thence by land to Fahnouth as the King his father did, and that if
a former arrangement had^been kept Worcester would have to come
to Barghez, and have gone over with him before this. If the King
of Castile's Council prevented his going into Spain, he would go
there himself, not to los^ so many realms to his family. He said he
had been at great expence in coming to these parts, which was
entirely on Henry's account, and not for the French, whom he
never would meet at Cambray or elsewhere,* nor his son either,
and that Sion had promised in the King's name he should not be a
loser by it, as would appear by the Cardinal's letters and those of
my Lady of Savoy ; and that, though Henry had only promised by
writing 20,000 florins at the meeting, Sion had told him he would
do more. It would be a great convenience to have 10,000 fl«
beforehand.

Next day Sion sent for Worcester and Wingfield, and told them
the Emperor had made the King of Castile promise to be ready in
three or four weeks, and had ordered inquiries to be made what
preparations there were in Zealand, and finding there were none
wrote a sharp letter to his son. Sion also begged they would
forward to the King the request for 10,000 florins in advance.
Worcester desired him to put his reasons in writing, which he did
(enclosed). Was desired to ask the King to advise the Emperor
whether, in case he could not get the King of Castile into Spain
this summer, he ought to go himself. Thinks the King should
decline to give him any advice, for fear he make it a pretext for
extorting more money, but that it would not be advisable to boggle
at the 10,000 iSorins at present : for if the King of Castile do go, it
might prevent the meeting ; if he do not, the Emperor will return
into Grermany, and will have no longer a pretext for asking for
more money. One of the electors, the Marquis of Bradenburg,
has come already to the diet. The day after St. George's Day the
Emperor, according to promise, sent for Wingfield to Barghes,
whither he went yesterday. Encloses Wingfield's letter containing
his answer. Antwerp, 26 April.

Galba, B. T. 199. Wrote on the 19th. The King of Castile came to Lyer, and

B. M. had a long conununication with the Emperor. Understand by the

Provost of Cassell that the King will confirm the amity. The
Provost is joined with Fyllynger and Hans Reyner to treat with the
writers. Sion, Gurk, Bannisius, Sygler, Fyllinger and Reyner are
appointed to discuss the clause, proventus et emolumenta, Tunstal,
on being sent for by Gurk, was informed that the King of Castile
was content to make the confirmation, omitting the said clause.
Understands that the Emperor had appointed to meet the King of
Castile at Termont on 30 April, and take the oath to avoid disputes.
The Emperor appointed his own Council to draw the proem. On
its being shown to Tunstal, he required the Provost of Cassell
should be present on the part of his master. Next day, St. George's
Day, the Emperor sent for them to the monastery of St. Michael,
where a solemn mass had been sung in honor of St. George, and
invited Worcester to dinner. In the afternoon, at the hour ap-
pointed, waited on Gurk, but the Provost Was not there, and
required certain things to be altered in the proem, ofiering also to
go to Brussels, and collate the writings made for the confirmation,
to save time. Gurk said it was needless, and he would advertise
the Emperor of the corrections.

The same evening, at supper with the Emperor and his Council,
Gurk declared that the Emperor had persuaded his son to conform
to the ratification, and that the oath should be given at .Termont ;
desiring them to make up their writings by 30 April. Replied,
that their master would not have consented to the confirmation in
its present form, but for his love to the King of Castile, and,
ofiering a draft, required certain alterations in the proem. On
retiring, perceived the Emperor " to be somewhat moved with his
Council," because such persons were not at the framing of the

9 HENRY Vin. 1025

proem as he had ordained. He referred their draft to his Council ;
declined sending Tunstal to Brussels, lest the King of Castilo
should find new cause for delay. Next day Gurk and others
expressed their satisfaction with the draft, but the Provost asked
two days' respite. Yesterday the Emperor sent for Wingfield to
Berghes, stating he would go to Zeland to forward the preparations
of the King of Castile, ordaining them to be at Brussels for tho
confirmation, and writing a letter to tho King of Castile for the
same purpose. Had received information from Chievres on in-
quiiy to be at the place appointed, and are told there will bo no

Galba, B.TI. 31. When Gurk, Felinger and Reyner delivered to him the preamble

B. M. of the confirmation, as mentioned in his letter to the King, they

offered a proposal, which they dropped after " some sticking," that
the English ambassadors should make a writing apart declaring
that the confirmation had been deferred to this day by their con-
sent, and that they now accepted it. Perceiving that their object
was to deprive England of the benefit of the treaty, from the making
of it " so that all tho treaties since by them made by the French-
men should be b . , . this treaty," Tunstal proposed instead, that
they should insert the words ex nunc, prout ex nunc conjirmamus ;
which was done. The same thing was again urged afterwards by
them, in order that the delay might not be imputed to the King of
Castile. Worcester and Sion have both written about the Empe-
ror's overture for the advance of the 10,000 fl. before the inter-
view. If it be paid in nobles, it will save 26*. 8rf. in every

Er.Ep.App.406. Has heard nothing from him since his departure. Was in the

country with his mother, to console her for the loss of his servant,
who died in her house, and whose death she lamented more than
a son's. On returning to London found the letter from Erasmus.
A bishop, who pretends to bo a very wise man, as Colet hears,
spoke against his school, and said that it was a useless and pes-
tiferous thing, and, to use his very words, " a house of idolatry,"
He supposes the Bishop referred to tlie fact of the Latin poets
being studied there. Francis, on his return, demanded the book.
Sends him the book in which the oration is to be found. The
printers said tliat copies of it would be sent to Cambridge. Wishes
Erasmus would finish the second part of his work De Copia,
[London.]

B. M. peror's inconstancy in disappointing them of their audience, and

his various subterfuges to avoid them. Has already expressed his
wishes by Richmond. Encloses a copy of his letter to the Emperor,
in which he is roundly touched. As the King of Castile consents
to confirm the treaty, omitting the words redditus et emolumentay
they are to inform him that, then* master will consent to the
omission. If there is any difficulty, are to resort to my Lady Mar-
garet, soliciting her for the said confirmation, although what conse-
quence would ensue thereby is doubtful, considering the letters they
had written in cipher of the lack of authority in the Emperor in
bringing these things to pass. This done, they may visit the
Emperor, acting as the case may require, but without any open
breach. If the confirmation is not granted without the Emperor's
consent, they must use policy to obtain it ; and if all fail, they are
to retire to Tournay, and not follow him.

yesterday for Almain. Sedunensis is with the Emperor, and will
be at Chievres* "feste" lodging at Evra, and leaving for Almain
next week. This appears to be all that the Emperor's coming has
effected hitherto. According to Bannysius he has written to the
Pope to make the Bp; of Cambray a Cardinal, and Lord Reulx's
son B]). of Besangon. Thinks Charleses going to Spain will be
more by necessity than by choice. Lord Fennys, it is thought,
will have the government here. Understands the Emperor and
his servants have more money now than they had during Charles's
tutelage under the rule of the Archduchess, and that he is very
well disposed towards Henry.

By letters from Rome, of the 21st, the Pope's affairs against the

of the Turks over the Souldan, and of the capture of Cairo. The

resisted. He said he had arranged with certain members of
Parliament to confer with them on the Candian wines. Thinks
it would have been settled before, but for a perilous circumstance.
*' After Easter a certain preacher, at the instigation of a citizen of
London, preached as usual in the fields, where the whole city is
in the habit of assembling with the magistrates, and commenced
abusing strangers, alleging that they not only deprived them of
their industry, and of the emoluments derivable thence, but dis-
graced their dwellings, taking their wives and daughters ; adding
much other exasperating language, persuading and exhorting them
not to suffer or permit this sort of persons to inhabit their town ;
by which means he so irritated the populace, that from that day
they commenced threatening the strangers that on 1 May they
would cut them to piecs and sack their houses." Perceiving the
minds of the people were inflamed, said a few words to the Cardinal,
who promised to provide against any accident : but being warned
by many threats, on the last day of April, Sebastian went to Rich-
mond, where the King is, and told him the dangers foreigners
were exposed to. The King promised to take all precautions;
** and the next night, having received news that the Londoners
were in arms, and committing great outrage upon the strangers,
he got up at midnight, and took the field with a good number
. . of persons, and sent messengers to London announcing his coming
with a large army ; though in reality, he never quitted Rich-
mond."

On 30 April the London apprentices and a number of bandits, in
all 2,000, attacked the French and Flemish quarters, and sacked the
houses. They proceeded to the French secretary (Meautis), sacked
his house, and would have killed him had he not escaped up the
belfry of the adjoining church ; then to the Italian merchants, but as
they were well aimed, the mob did little damage. Sebastian's own
house was not attacked at all. Much greater mischief would have
occurred but for the measures adopted by the Cardinal and the
lords, who came by several roads to the city gates, which had been
locked by the rioters. The Lord High Admiral forced his way
and had another gate opened, where was the Duke of Norfolk.
Seventy of the ringleaders were captured, and thirteen of them
condemned to death, among them the preacher. There are now
5,000 men-at-arms in the city. Richmond, 5 May 1517.

necessary to use all diligence in this matter for reasons already
mentioned. Wolsey had spoken to him of his desire to purchase
tapestries of moderate price to decorate his houses in England ; and
Master Sampson, on his return from England, had informed him of
the Cardinal's desire to procure tapestry similar to that he had pur-
chased in Tournay of a *^ damoiselle vesne (veuve?) qui estoit la mere
de votre hoste." Could not procure it of as good material and colour
as Wolsey wished for less than 5s. 6d, sterlg. the Flemish ell, al-
though he believes it did not cost half as much. It is thirty years
since such stuff was made ; and as for the damsel, she has no concern
[to make more], for she and several others of the town have been
ruined (quasy comme perdue) [by it ?].

GaIba,B.v. 210. On the 28th Tunstal went to Brussels, had an interview next

B. M. day with the Chancellor and the Provost of Cassell, and stated that

as the King of Castile had expressed his assent to the confirmation,
omitting the words proventus et emolumentay he had come there
to collate the writings, and desired to know when the King would
give his oath. The Chancellor replied that the King would keep
his promise truly, and therefore would not be hasty to undertake
more than he could perform, and asked if they had any commission
to erase the words. On Tunstal stating that their commission was
sufficient for that purpose, the Chancellor asked if they had had
the original letters of the treaty delivered by their ambassadors to
the King ; and on Tunstal answering it would be sufficient to erase
them from the confirmation, the Chancellor said, unless they were
erased from the original the King would not confirm. In the
evening the Provost of Cassell made three propositions for sur-
mounting the difficulty, which Tunstal took the next day to the
Chancellor, and stated that in the intercourse between the two
kingdoms nothing had been done contrary to the effect insisted on,
and that the omission of the words in the confirmation annulled
them in effect in the originaL The Chancellor, however, consented
to remit their election of the three ways proposed, on their assurance
that the King would choose one before the confirmation. By the
tenor of their commission and the instructions sent by Richmond,
and to avoid delay, declared the said words to stand void wher-
ever found, which satisfied the Chancellor, who said he would
learn what day the King would give his oath, appointing it at
Louvain, 6 May. On collating the writings Tunstal found that
they had inserted in the confirmation copies of the wrong letters ;
and, after some remonstrance with the Chancellor, new ones were
ordered. The Chancellor complained that his clerk had lost much
pains, for though the King of Castile would be ruled by his grand-
father, he would act independently^ as he was of lawful age.
The authority of Chievres and the Chancellor is much increased,

and they must be won over if the King's favor is to be gained.
They know all that has been intended against them ; partly, as
Tunstal thinks, through the Governor of Brese, who is in great
favor with my Lady ; partly through Gurk and Fyllinger. Thinks,
however, as they have done ill to England, they will be glad to
forgive and be forgiven. Tunstal had an interview at Brussels
with Fra Nicholas, the Pope's commissioner^ lately come fi-ora
England, who had spoken to Cardinal Gurk three days before at
Antwerp to know how the confirmation went on, and was told
there was a new impediment found by the Council. On this he
went to the Chancellor, who told him the Cardinal " lied falsely in
saying that they had written that a new difficulty was found for
the deferring thereof, which was untrue, for they never neither
wrote so nor thought so." Fra Nicholas, in the presence of Spinelly,
bade him beware lest it proved a trick of the Emperor to get
money. Tunstal thinks it might be so, or that it was a trick of
the Council to pick thanks. The said friar is a well spoken man,
and reported to be crafty. One evening the Dean of the Chapel,
in great favor with Chievres, came to sup with Tunstal, and said
that on the King of Castile's voyage into Spain being mentioned,
some one observed to Chievres that it would be advantageous
to the King to go by England, only that Henry would make
Chievres' head pay for all, if he once got him into his hands.
Thinks this was a design to see what answer would be given.
Tunstal replied, that the King, his master, would treat the King
of Castile, and all that came with him, with the best cheer, to
the least page ; still more Chievres, who was his kinsman.

Were sent for yesterday to Ilever, and were assured by the
Chancellor that the delay of the confirmation had not arisen from
any disinclination on the part of his master, who would have done it
that day, had he not been desired the night before by the Emperor,
who wished to bo present at the oath, to delay it three or four
days. Then in a conversation apart Worcester begged Chievres to
entertain feelings of amity towards England, which he promised to
do, though he knows, when the King was lately in those parts,
attempts were made to set the King against him as being wholly
French. He denies it, and says that when late the French were
coming before Tournay, he denounced the expedition. He told
the Lord Berghes lately that ho trusted shortly to be in as good
favor with England as ho was. On Worcester's begging him to
continue in this mind, and asking him if there was any other
impediment for deferring the oath, ho said on his faith there was
not. He says the King is resolved to go this year into Spain
within two months, as ho trusts, by sea, if he can bear it. Will
keep close the answer to the Emperor's demands until the confirma-
tion is passed, if he has invented this delay merely to gain money.
There is no likelihood, whatever the Emperor promises, that the
King of Castilo will give a meeting to England, without a special
treaty with them apart. Louvain, 7 May. Signed.

saying that as your poor kinsman he will always be ready to do
him service, and that God knows how much he hath desired this
new confederation. The King will go to Spain this summer, as
Spinelly is assured, not only by the Lords of the Council, but also
by the Receiver General of Flanders, who is in great favor here,
having the entire confidence of Lord Fenys, and being the ori-
ginator of the alliance with Chievres.

Is informed hy the Audicncer that the Emperor desired the
Council to demand of Henry 50,000 or 30,000 crowns of aoldy
but that Charles had refused " to sell his amity to your grace;* and
will take his oath on Sunday, whether the Emperor come or not.
" The general estates of the countreys been remitted at Gand

the Government will remain hero and be conducted by Lord Fennis.
The Dean of Louvain, Bp, of Tortosa, who was resident with the
Council of Spain, is despatched to the King of Portugal, If that
King marry the Lady Afargaret, the Lady Eleanor will be given
to the Prince his son. The Goverrwr of Br esse has urged upon the
former that it was better to be a Queen than nothing^ ^^ which she
should bCy tarrying here without authority.*'* Spinelly thinks the
Cou7icil will spare no pains to get rid of both the ladies. The
King of Portugal greatly liked the overture^ and the Emperor is
content with everything whereof he may have money,

Spinelly recommends tliat the Governors, who, he thinks, have
detected some new French intrigue, should be induced at their
going into Spain to pass through England, but desires first to be
allowed to come to Henry's presence to explain some things he cannot
conveniently write of. Louvain, 7 May 1517.

requested him before his departure to confirm the amity, which
he did solemnly yesterday. They have delivered him their con-
firmations, erasing the words provcntus et emolumenfa. The King
of Castile allows the King to annul the said words in the original,
or make a fresh copy. Send copies of the proem, &c. Have
moved the King's Council for ample powers to receive the new
confirmation in England. Enclose a letter written by the King in

Gfllba, B. T. 226. After despatching their letters on the 7th, were advertised by

B. M. Lady Margaret that the Emperor, who had been sick at Zeland,

was recovered, and desired her to be proxy at the King of Cas-
tile's oath. She sent them the letter witli a secret information
that the giving of the oath at Louvain, which the King of Castile
said was done at the Emperor's request, was not so : but it was
deferred, as she said, " that the treaty of Cambray late made in
March last with the Frenchmen might bo confirmed and sworn
before ours." To obviate these intrigues Tunstal visited the
Chancellor next morning, and pressed the oath to be given
forthwith ; that the Emperor would not be present, and it was
unreasonable to delay the confirmation till after that of Cambray,
and would not be well taken. The day after, on the Chancellor's
arriving at Brussels, Tunstal visited him, stating that by a letter
from Sion to Wingfield (enclosed) it appeared that the Emperor
would not come, and was dissatisfied at the delay. " The Chan-
cellor said that perad venture the P^mperor caused one thing to bo
written unto us, and another unto them, and that it was not the
first time he had seen such pranks played." Tunstal would not
allow him to believe that they mistrusted the Emperor, or imputed
the delay to any but to them.

Enclose a letter received from Sion, stating that the Emperor
was content with the delay ; but the letter says, " at the King of
Castile's request ;" and the King of Castile says it is at his request.
To avoid the disclosing of some craft on one side or the other, they
were compelled to yield to have all things performed yesterday.
Chievres and the Chancellor are well satisfied with the league.
On supping with the King, Worcester expressed his delight at the
new amity ; to which the King answered he never did anything
with a better will, and that his special trust was more in Henry
than in any other prince. He told Worcester that he fully intended
to go this summer into Spain, and if possible by sea ; and if he
mu6t land he would rather land in England than anywhere else.
Yesternight, Lady Margaret told the Chamberlain, that on her asking
the King before mass why he was not more gorgeous in his array,
as he was to take his oath that day, he answered that when he put
on his clothes in the morning he did not know it was to be done that
day, and had forgotten his collar and garter, for which he had sent
in M haste. She said he had changed much of late, and meddled
in his own affairs ; that he had refused to go by France to avoid
the suspicions of England. He is not inclined for the meeting with
the French King at Cambray. Yesterday, received the King's
letters dated Richmond, the 7th, giving an account of the rising of
the apprentices in London against the merchant strangers, and their
subsequent punishment. The ambassadors of the Emperor and the
King of Castile have sent accounts of the same. Worcester ex-
plained the affair to the King at supper, how the riot was easily
put down and the actors punished. Before their departure, will
demand of Chievres that a special ambassador be sent to receive
the King's oath in England. Advises that friendly letters be sent
to Chievres and the Chancellor. Brussels, 12 May. Signed.

and crossed to Normandy. Thinks he does not tell the truth. He
Hays he came from Paris in three days, where the Queen made her
entry with great triumph. Could not induce him to go to the Lord
Chamberlain. He denies that any ships are preparing in Picardy
or Normandy. Fra Nicholas is dissatisfied that they have not
officially declared the King's pleasure to allow the Pope to enter the
league. Begs Wolsey's favour in behalf of his servant, whose life

mised not to leave the country without his knowledge. Desires
Wolsey will take the matter into his consideration. Would not

Casiua had arrived from the Emperor ; at whose coming the Lord
Chancellor told Spinelly and the Master of the Rolls they should
liave their answer. On die Lord Chamberlain sending Norroy,
were told the Emj>eror would have the business remitted to Mechlin,
where he would be this present week. On Sunday went to the
Chancellor to remind him of his promise to expedite matters. Told
him that otherwise the credit would rest with the Emperor. Upon
this the Chancellor sent for Chicvres, and concluded the despatch
that was made yesterday. Is *'out of hope that the Catholic
King at his going into Spain shall pass by England with a small
company, sending his army to Falmouth, for many the which know
his feeble complexion doth continually persuade the same." The
Admiral is to make his entry into the bishopric of Utrecht with
many noblemen. He is succeeded by Bevres. The Duke of
Gueldres swears he will oppose him. Before the King goes into
Spain " the French will play some false pageant after their old
manner." The Friar [Nicolas] is here from the Pope. Affiurs in
Spain grow worse daily, but Charles cannot leave before August,

afternoon they went to Mechlin ; the Emperor to Antwerp yester-
day ; Charles to Brussels, to celebrate the obsequies of the Queen
of Portugal. The King knows the Emperor's tricks to delay the
amity and raise money. Is informed that he is now trying with the
Cardinal of Sion to find some other way. Friar Nicolas tells him
Sion is going to England. Hopes he will be stopped. Cbievres
and the Chancellor have told the Emperor's Council that as their
master is going into Spain, he '' will be bound unto no man for the
said majesty without the special consent of the Greneral Estates."
It is said the Emperor will leave at the end of the month. Charles
starts for Spain in August. Is in hope he will pass by England if
he is ** driven u|)ou the winter." The Cardinal of Spain has written
to him not to defer his voyage. The horses embark next week.
The Chancellor goes in a litter in July. " Also the Lady Chievres
hatli affirmed to me the Lady Eleanor goeth, and she in her com-
pany ; for the marriage between the King of Portugal and the
Archduchess is, semblably much spoken." The court is removed
to Ghent, where the Estates are, to arrange for the rule of the
country. Lord Fenyns will be chief of the Council.

Ambassadors at Rome had written on the 6th that Francis was
urgent with the Pope for Modena and Reggio to be restored to
the Duke of Ferrara, offering to put his nephew in possession
of the duchy of Urbino. As he receives but slight assistance
iVoin the Viceroy of Naples, and his charges are intolerable, they
think the Pope w^ill comply. Fra Nicolas does not deny iL He
is come here, and will swear to the treaty lately concluded at
Lycre. Tidings have come of the Turks' success, and the ruin of
the Soldan. A large fleet is preparing at Constantinople. There
are great doubts of the destination of the forces in the employ of

French King examined Anchises of his going to England; of ike
King and Wolsey 's manners ; swears he loves the King of England
above all other pritices, and wonders why England always opposes
him ; would deny his cousin of England nothing. He asked
Anchises how it were possible to obtain Wolsey^ s favor. He then
made " wonderful inquisition " of Pace's person, stature, &c., saying
that Pace had caused him to expend 2,000,000 of gold. Still he
would give him ^^ montes auri** for amity with England^ and
Wolsey should have peaceable possession of Toumay by resignation^

or any other thing as good. He offered Pace a sa/econduct to
Milan, and honorable attendance to France and to Calais gates,
Cau pass no judgment on these matters, as Anchises has sworn
fidelity to France, but thinks the French King desires the amity^
and is urged to it by Anchises, Galeazzo, and others. Francis also
stated that he was not the author of any of the troubles in Scot'
la?id, but his predecessor was. News have arrived that the Emperor

May Day, which has greatly exasperated the populace. Is well
treated by the Cardinal and nobility. Shuns all opportunity of
dispute. The King, after rigorous justice, has pardoned the
rest. " He came one day to a place distant half a mile hence,
with his court in excellent array, the right reverend Cardinal
being there likewise, with a number of lords, both spiritual and
temporal, with their followers, in a very gallant trim. And his
majesty, being seated on a lofty platform, surrounded by all those
lords, who stood, he caused some four hundred of these delin-
quents, all in their shirts and barefoot, and each with a halter
round his neck, to be brought before him ; and on their presentini^
themselves before his majesty, the Cardinal implored him aloud
to pardon them, which the King said he would not by any means
do : whereupon said right reverend Cardinal, turning towards the
delinquents, announced the royal reply. The criminals, on hear-
ing that the King chose them to be hanged, fell on their knees,
shouting, ' Mercy ! ' when the Cardinal again besought his ma-
jesty to grant them grace, some of the chief lords doing the
like. So at length the King consented to pardon them, which was
announced to these delinquents by said right reverend Cardinal
with tears in his eyes ; and he made them a long discourse, urging
them to lead good lives, and comply with the royal will; which was,
that strangers should bo well treated in this country; adding many
other expressions hereon. And when the Cardinal told them this,
that the King pardoned them, it was a fine sight to see each man take
the halter which hung from his neck, and throw it in the air; and they
jumped for extreme joy, making such signs of rejoicing as became
their escape from such peril. It was a very fine spectacle, and well
arranged, and the crowd of people present was innumerable." As
no strangers were killed, the people cannot bear that forty of their
countrymen should be so cruelly hanged and quartered. Nothing
is to be seen at the city gate but gibbets and quarters. Remained
ten days at Richmond. Heard the King sing, play, and dance.
Dion. Memo was there ; and at his request a lad played upon the
lute, to the amazement of the King, who is never wearied of listen-
ing to him. Since this lad's coming Zuan Piero is in less favour.

B. M. Went to take leave of the King of Castile on the 16th. Left

next day for Antwerp, where the Emperor had appointed : but he
sent word next day that they should return to Malines where he
was. Told him they had by his ordinance after their last communica-
tion repaired to Brussels, and received the King of Castile's confir«
mat ion, and his Council was well inclined, and they hoped it would
further the amity of the three kingdoms ; that they had received a
letter from England in answer to his query conveyed by Cardinal
Sion ; but as the King of England did not know all the circum-
stances of the case he could not, as the Emperor desired, advise
him to go into Spain to quiet the rebellion there, in the event of the

9 HENRY viir. 1047

Prince of Castile being prevented from so doing. Then Worccsfer
and Wingfield communicated to him apart the secrets conveyed in
their letters. Next day. in the presence of Sion and others, they
were told that the Emperor, at his descent into those parts,
requested Henry to send him some ambassador who might treat in
conjunction with Wingfield, but he was well content with what had
been done, and glad to see the amity between England and Castile
l)efore his departure to the diet next month. Cardinal Sion then
told them apart that the Emi)eror wished they would write to
England for the 10,000 florins, and ho would send there one with
his mind, touching other and secret matters ; that if they were
then to take their leave they were not to touch of this in their
answer. They replied that their master thanked the Emperor for
his good offices, and hoped they would continue.

Then the Emperor said to them apart that he would go to the
diet, and leave other matters to them till his return, which ho
thought would be before August. Desires them to write for the
10,000 florins to pay his expenses. As they declined attending him
into Almayn ho said that he would stay eight days, when they
might send their answer. They requested him to command one of
his secretaries to write his mind touching the articles and the
money, and then there would be no mistake. lie promised that ho
and Sion would put it in writing. Desire further instructions.

by the Emperor to go to Antwerp, but his majesty was not there.
Sent him word they had received an answer from England touching
his paper, desiring to know where they should deliver it. Came
by his appointment to Mechlin, and found the Emperor in riding
array, when he was addressed by the Master of the Rolls, as they
have written in another letter. Then the Chamberlain and Wing-
field, being alone, delivered their message, at which he much re-
joiced, holding them still unopened, and desiring to hear the rest of
their charge. Worcester told him how much the King was pleased
with his letter, and would send shortly a secret personage to treat
with him about it ; that he had resolved to call together some of
his most secret Council to discuss the matters contained in it ;
that as to the advance of 10,000 florins he desired from the
King of England, an answer had been delayed for the present,
until the whole matter was determined, and the Emperor had

now he must go to the diet and obtain money, he wist not where.
They were both moved with pity, and Sir Robert Wingfield assured

and Scotland was confirmed; that the Queen had returned, and there
was no difference between England and France that required an
appeal to arms. He offered to admit France and Venice into the
league. Visited the Bp. of Durham, under pretence of congratulat-
ing him upon the league. " He replied immediately, Domine Orator,
there was no question of anything in this league which would molest
you. On the contrary, we all sought and desired your quiet and
tranquillity ; and I tell you we are very content and satisfied nt
your having Verona, as all dissension and cause of war between
you and the Emperor are thus removed, which su^ts us : and this he

S- M. Yesterday Sion sent for them, and delivered them a credence

from the Emperor, and stated that, as the Emperor could not draw
up the memorial in consequence of his occupations, he had sent a
bill, which they enclose. In this the Emperor proposed a general
league with himself, England, Castile and France. Though nothing
was said of money, they were commanded by the Emperor to adk
for a loan of 10,000 florins for one year, by way of loan, to be
repaid Whitsun twelvemonth. The bill is to be left in the haud^
of his servant Denyse Brown, till the money arrive. The
Emperor also wishes them to provide 2,000 florins, which he had
ordained " should be bestowed in this town now at his departure."
Sion also strongly recommended Sygler for his services to England.
They promised to write, but declined to make the chevesaunce of
2,000 florins, as they had no authority, and they could not borrow
it in their own name, as money was so much decried there. At
Sygler's departure, Sion entered into a long detail of his poverty
and troubles, and the generosity of England, and that the money
given him had been half lent to the Emperor and remained unpaid ;
*' desiring us to move your grace not to think that he is in any fault
that such affairs as he treated with your grace went .no better
forward : with which words speaking, the tears appeared in his
eyes, saying, that he could impute it to none but Galeas Viscount,
which* peradventure had knowledge of such things as he treated
with your grace in England of the empire, and other matters, whereof,
as he thought, he had given knowledge to the French King." He
intends to follow the Emperor closely, by reason of the .craft of the
French ; and promised to send the King a Spanish genet. As their
business is concluded, will repair to Toumay till they hear from the
King. Antwerp, 28 May. Signed.
P.S.— -The genet has arrived.

still besieges Hocn', and lost in an assault 400 men. France is not
popular here. By letters from Madrid of the 19th the King is
advertized of the recoveiy of the Cardinal of Toledo. The as-
sembly there have deferred their meeting till the King comes.
Count Dorogne, called Don Pedro Gyrona, has raised 4,000 men in
Andalusia to attack the Duke de Medina Sidonia. The provision
made here has stopped the insurrection. ^ And as the Dean of

has taken place from the former conditions, which, he considers,
arises from the finger of God, and will lead to momentous conse-
quences. A person intimately acquainted with the secrets of the
Emperor, and not unpleasing to Wolsey, will soon visit England,
and convey a fuller revelation of these things. Regrets much the
present state of Christendom and of the Church in particular.
Italy and Germany are exposed to danger ; Spain is in dissension ;
the Catholic King is a boy ; his brother Ferdinand is apparently at
variance with him against his own will ; the Emperor is old and
wants energy, and his life is uncertain. The Frenchman thirsts for
opportunity of aggrandizement. There is no safeguard against
these dangers except in England. If these things be rightly
managed the mouth of the whirlpool will be stopped up, and its jaws
suffocated. Excuses the length of his desultory epistle. ^' [An]t-

(1.) Francisco Maria de la Rovere, since the victory against the
Pope's army, went to Perosa witli all his liost, but was repulsed
with great loss. (2) All the Pope's horsemen from La Marka
went to Toscana against Rovere. (3.) 400 Neapolitan spears were
not paid by the Viceroy, contrary to the King Catholic's promise,
and the Pope was obliged to pay them, to his great discontent.
(4.) The Cardinals of Sauly and Sena conspired to poison the
Pope by means of a surgeon of his. The plot was discovered, and
they are imprisoned in the castle of Saint Angelo. They will be
tried by the Cardinals of Surreut, St. Eusebio and Famese. (5.)
The French King offered the Pope to restore him the peaceable
possession of the " ole duchy of Urbin, dummodo his holiness wol
consent unto many prejudicyables and deshonnorables conditions ;"
to which he will be compelled if the King Catholic do not help him
shortly. (6.) The Pope is informed that the Turks have sent out
about 200 sail, but it is not known whither. Considering how
little Christian princes set by his admonitions, he will be compelled,
if they land in Italy, to abandon the residence of St. Peter, "with
such saint reliques as he might assemble," and tlee to some safe
place. The above news was declared by Friar Nyclas, in the Pope's
name, to the King and his Council. This morning, 30 May.

Quentin in Picardy ; will at all events go to Britanny to hasten the
departure of Albany, who has ready several large galleys. They are
making vessels at Tocque, beyond Bouille and at Caudebec. Orders
have been given to proceed diligently to work at Chiet de Caux near
Harfleur. The troops are commanded to be in garrison in Ar[toi8
by] August. The mutinies of the Bretons draw the King into
Britanny. He has cashiered the band of De Rieux and the Bastard.
They are afraid of insurrection in Britanny, and of the English that
run there (?) {qui roent et vague .... vers ledict Bretagne,)
If there were any person of authority to put himself forward, the
King would lose his whole khigdom, although this is the most
loyal people in the world. He is preparing a great navy to defeat the
English, but may possibly fail, as all his best captains and even
the mercenaries are beyond [the mountains].

The Duke of Urbino and tho Romans have left. They have . . .
. . . the daughter of the Count of Boulogne, who is not a very suitable
match for that beggar D'Urbiuo. They have brought six chapeaux,
but found no one in France ready to purchase at the price they de-
manded ; " et pource, les rapportent au gr[and] chapellier. C'est
bonne pasture pour jouer aux escoilliers de . . . . " The King has
printed the benediction .... The Sire de la Marche is much praised.

He has been badly treated has sent to tho King his order

of knighthood. Possibly he may have acted like Scipio Tarquinius
when he sun*endered to Gabinien. Wo think [ourselves] very
clever " quil ne nous chant que nous faisons," but one of these days
" on jouera ung malvais tour, si on peult." The King has taken
strict measures against those who wish to prevent the publication
of the Concordat ; has ordered Finnes to apprehend those who have
circulated defamatory libels, "et qui ont conseillee ladite appel-

lacion par corps aucuns sen sent fouez, comme Mens. Dix-

hommcs Bouchart plus grans de parlement ; mais le

dit Dixhommez a faict son .... et est venu ycy parler au Roy.'*
The rest have been thrown into prison, [as] the Procureur of tho
University of Paris, le Scribe, &c. Those of the Parliament and
University have been summoned before tho King, but have deferred
going, fearing to be mocked.

The King, [mistrusting] the English and the Emperor, has re-
mitted his demands on Rouen and on the lords of Paris (?) Some
of the people have refused to contribute to the said enterprize.
The King has offered to remove half the talliagcs, but it is too late.
He will never gain the affections of his people. The Duke of
Lorraine has retired in discontent because they have appointed
the Duke of Urbino to stand godfather with him. Louis Dast and
his company are cashiered. Every man cries up England, and says
that the King of England is tho wisest and handsomest King in the
world. The King has sent to the King Catholic to know if he
intends to harbor the Sieur de la Marche, who is the King's ally.
Does not fear La Marche, but is afraid of the King Catholic and
the English. Has received ten crowns this month of May; "et

May. 3320. Jerningham, Deputy, and the Council of Tournay

Itrypc's Mem. L to WOLSEY.

iilApp.No.5. Received his letter dated Westminster, 22nd April, on the 28th

of that month, stating the King's and Wolscy's pleasure that, like
other garrisons, the garrison of Tournay should bo paid half-yearly,
and not at every three months, as formerly ; and that, for the con-
venience of the soldiers and victuallers, 1,000 marks should bo
advanced to the garrison, to be deducted at the half year's pay-
ment. Declared this to the captains, men-at-arms, vintners and
constables, who have assembled their companies and made certi-
ficates (enclosed). From these certificates, which are founded on
truth, Wolsey will perceive their poverty. Think it impossible
*' to be brought to so long a day " without great inconvenience :
for while writing, certain victuallers came and complained to the
Deputy of their victuals being taken away by force. The parties
so doing excuse themselves by saying they had no money and
could obtain no trust, "and without meat and drink they could
not live." Fear the consequences if they have not money right
shortly.

B.M. Protesting against the proposal in Wolsey's letters to the Council

and garrison, dated Westminster, 22nd April, for paying them half-
yearly like other garrisons, instead of quarterly. TLcir case is
peculiar. They must be always ready to stand a siege. English
victuallers are discouraged ; several have run away, leaving largo
debts. Ai-e not exempt, like other garrisons, from the maletot ;
but pay on every tun of wine 40^., on every barrel of beer 12(/., &c.
The King's money will not pass as elsewhere ; a penny is worth
but .... gro. Flemish; 6d, is not worth 6 gro[schen of Flan]ders
money.

Queen Margaket to Henry VIII.

On Tuesday, Cawter came to her at York from Albany with a
writing, of which she sends a copy. Albany sends also letters for
Henry, explaining his departure from Scotland, and stating that
the Council would not allow him to pass through England. Thinks
he has taken this purpose very hastily, as he had not thought of it
within this short while. Thanks Henry for this, without whom it
would not have been. Trusts he will take care that he do not
return to trouble her, as his purpose is. Supposes Albany has
informed Henry how he has left everything, and who is to have
authority on the Borders. He has informed her of these points,
and how she shall be answered of her conjunct feoffment, according
to the agreement between Henry and him. Desires to represent
one point. The agreement is, that she shall have all that belongs
to her by right ; but by one clause she is to restore what belongs
to her son, without specifying what that is. This may be con-
strued to her disadvantage : for the King, her husband, before he
went to the field, gave her a warrant under his hand for 18,000 cr.
of weight that the French King sent, which was without the con-
sent of the Council of Scotland. They will be able to claim any-
thing that the King her husband gave her ; most part of which she
spent before she came to England. Requests that Henry will
command Dacres '^ to see a sure way for me and Master Magnus
or I go in." Now that the Duke is going, cares little about the
arrears. Has no doubt the lords will be glad to please her for
fear of Henry. York, 3 June.

P.S. — Since writing this, Cawter, the bearer, told her the Duke
desired her to write for a prorogation of the peace beyond St. An-
drew's Day. " Sir, I troust you do remember that I spake to your
grace, vhan I vent to Vendsor tliys last tymc, that it schuld not bo
long contynud vythout my dessyr for causis : but do to me as your
grace thynkes best for me, so that I may know it before him whan

ceived from Worcester and the Vice-chancellor, then at Hawes,
two Brabant miles hence, a copy of the Ejng's letters of 30 March,
dated Greenwich, addressed to all three, desiring Wingfield should
follow the Emperor into Germany as his ambassador. Begs the
King to remember how he has fulfilled his charge for more than
seven years, and how impossible it is to comply : 1st. Because he
is so deeply in debt : the payment of 7.5/. for his diets remaining
due out of 100/. on the 14th ult., having been so long delayed.
2ndly. The journey to Cologne, where the Emperor is, is so unsafe,
especially to him who is so greatly hated by the French. Not one
of his servants will remain longer abroad. Intends to pass straight
to Calais, and remain there until he hears i^ain. Begs earnestly
to have leave to visit his highness, and perform the pilgrimages he
promised when in danger of his life. Brussels, 5 June 1517.

'* Mores hominum nmltonim vidit et urbes."

Whilst Erasmus has grovm as lean as a rake by hard study during
ten months at Basle, the horse has had nothing to do, and has grown
so fat ho can scarce enter [his stable]. Doubts not Urswick has seen
the New Testament. St. Jerome will soon appear, together with
his work, De Principis Institutione, &c. Has sent four volumes of
St. Jerome to the Archbishop by the One-eyed Peter, Urswick's

letters, one for himself apart, desiring him to remain in the King
of Castile's court till his voyage into Spain, Tunstal returned
towards Ghent, where the King now is. As Richmond is too ill
to travel, sends by a servant the original confirmation and ai'ticles
of the new amity, as the King desired. The night before he left
Antwerp John de la Nucha came to his lodgings and spoke much
of his services to the King of Castile ; that at his accession he
was promised his pension should not be diininished, and that as
he was an ancient knight of the Order of Calatrava, he had been
promised a commandry soon to fall vacant. It had not been given
to him, but to Don Diego de Gavaro, by those about the King.
He rehearsed other ill services he had received, and how much he
had favored England, for which he trusted the King would have
allowed him to visit England. Tunstal urged that the refusal had
been withheld for good reasons, and asked why my Lady con-
tinued " so heavy lady unto him, that by no means she may be
reconciled. Upon that he began to rehearse how my Lady, before
she was reconciled to the Lord Chievres by one Friar Boniface,
was wont often to demand his counsel in her affairs, like as the
last winter she did, sending for him, and desiring him to come
speak with her at an hour in the evening by her appointed ;
whither after he was come, and had demanded what my Lady did,
it was answered, she played at * tyk takk ' with the Lord Chievres,
by the reason of whose being there, he tarried, leaning in a window
without, unto he was departed ; and after came and knocked at
the door, and advertized my Lady, by one of her gentlewomen
which came unto the door, that he was there according to her
appointment; to which gentlewoman my Lady answered aloud,
that he might hear : Shut the door ; let him not come in : what
time is this to come ? which ho said, after he heard, he said he
came sent for by her, and would not be so ready another time, if
she took the matter so. And upon that, within few days, she
desired the King he might be avoided the court, saying he intended
to have dishonored her; which he said he never thought, as he took
God to his judge." On his wishing to know when Tunstal should
leave for England, in order to send his servant to obtain for him
a safeconduct thither, Tunstal told him it would be more for his
honor to go into Spain with the King of Castile. He answered he
did not believe the King would go this year, as ho would bo
prevented by the French.

On Tunstal telling him that the King of Castile was on good
terms with England, and that Chievres and the Chancellor were
well inclined, " he said with a merry smiling countenance, that ho
though it was good that your grace should use them for a time,
and dissemble with them, seeing they were so great in favor with

their master: bat I answered, that, without any disshnulationy
1>oth they might be sure of your grace, and ye would trust the
same to them." Tunstal thinks this was a trick to see what he
would speak against the governors : for the Dean of the King of
Castile's chapel told him on a previous occasion that De la Nucha
had openly said in the Council there was no need for the King to
go into Spain that year, and then pretended among his countr3rmen
the Spaniards that he was sorry for the delay. He has certainly
been reconciled to Chievres and the Chancellor. Brussels, 7 June.

The Spanish footmen are very discontented with the Duke for

B. M. The Pope is very much surprised, considering the state of the ^mtsB,

that ho has so very few letters from the King, and considen
Worcester's excuses very unsatisfactory. The Bishop says he
urges the Pope to send the bull for the administration of Tour-
nay to England. The Pope pleads delay till he is safe from the
French shears, and thinks England is indifferent, as he has not heard
from it for three months. Writes of the confession of Cardinals
Sauli and Sienna, and Cardinal St. George, who acknowledges he
was privy to their designs ; of the Consistory summoned on the
8th ; their profession of their innocence ; the Pope's urgency that ,
they should confess whether they knew of any conspiracy against |
him (for at that time the perjury of Cardinal Hadrian was unknown); [
of the solemn denial of Cardinal Volaterra; of the confessions of '
the two guilty Cardinals, which had been taken apart, one confess-
ing that Hadrian was his accomplice, the other Volaterra, but one
was not privy to the other. The Consistory urged Hadrian and
Volaterra to fall at the Pope's feet and beg his pardon, which they
did with tears in their eyes, confessing their guilt. He pardoned
them, referring their penalty to the Consistory, which was set at
60,000 ducats, and was finally fixed by the Pope at 25,000. The
Bp. of Worcester, at his private audience with the Pope, obtained
his leave to give an account of the whole affair to Wolsey. Car-
dinal Hadrian has the assurance to request a brief from the Pope
to the King, attesting his innocence, but has been refused. ** . . .

GaIlm,B.T.258. After the departure of Spinelly yesterday, to whom he gave

B. M. letters for Wolsey, received Wolsey's letters of the 27th May from

the Master of the Bolls, by which he finds that his labor in the
matter of the league has been satisfactory. Nothing will give him
greater pleasure than to visit the King and Wolsey, which he
hopes to do before he goes to Italy, or is onjhis way to Spain. Will
not need to visit them a second time for the sake of the league,
as he has done what was required already at Brussels, when the
King Catholic took his oath. He did not, as Wolsey writes,
demand the Pope's admission, but acceded to it at once, as a
suitable occasion was offered by the terms of the league itself.
The Pope will give his ratification in three months, though not
perhaps in the way the English ambassadors required. He is very
anxious to satisfy the King. When he comes to England wiU
explain the difficulties, and on considering them Wolsey will see
he did right not to come. Ghent, 13 June 1517.

moved by the English ambassador. This would be preferable to
issuing a bull, which the Pope declined to do in the case of the
French treaty. The friar cJso informed him that the Cardinals
of Sienna and Saules were imprisoned for having attempted to
poison the Pope, which they have since admitted ; that the Spanish

son Counts Christofles de Frangei)ain, Westerbourg and Kitschon,
and others, free of ransom. To thank him for his good resolution
and reply in the affair of Messire Charles d'Egmonde. To ask him
to send one of his councillors to Mantua, to meet a councillor of
the Pope, as arbitrators in the disputes which daily arise between
the subjects of the Emperor and the Venetians, by which the truce
may finally be broken, and state what day the said councillor
will arrive, that notice may be sent to the Pope. To ask him to
write to the Pope in favor of the Duke of Barri, brother of Maxi-
milian Sforza, recommending his promotion to the cardinalate, and
that some provision be made for him in compensation for his
rights in the succession of his late father and brother Maximilian.
To ask him to persuade the Venetians to allow Count Jerome
de Nogerole, of Verona, to enjoy his possessions, as do the other
Veronese expelled for taking the Emperor's part. To request that
the possessions of Messire Andrieu de Burgo, and his brotliers

Emperor's service before the Italian war, be restored to them. To
ask for restitution to Count Leys de Ticion, of the goods of which

Emperor's service. To show in what danger Christendom is from
the Emperor of Turkey, who has killed the old Sultan and almost
subdued the kingdom of his successor, having so much increased
his power that the kingdoms of Africa are compelled to submit

19 Juna 337a Tunstal to [Henry VIII.]

GaIl)t,B.vi.59. Two days ago the King of Castile called before him, the Estates

B. iL of the Low Countries, and . told them, by his Chancellor, that he

had delayed his departure to Spain in order to see peace established
by alliances with France and England ; that thq disturbance raised
in Friesland by the Duke of Guoldres, he trusted, would not prove
very formidable ; and that he would leave a Council to govern in
his absence, whose names would be declared before his departure ;
adding, after a pause, that the King had so treated with the Em-
peror that they trusted they might rely on his help when needed.
The King himself added words to the like effect. This is the
report given to Tunstal by one who was present, but many under-
stood it as if the Emperor were to be the head of the Council.
No mention was made of the Lady Margaret. Wise men think
the names of the Council will not be declared till the King's em-
barcation. The Chancellor leaves today on his "voyage." It is
supposed he has a commission to take the French King's oath to
the treaty of Cambray, Felinger going with him to do the same
on the Emperor's behalf, and to receive 50,000 crowns, payable
next month, for the delivery of Verona. The Spaniards hardly
believe the King will go this year, but much of his " stuff" is gone
already into Zealand. Last night Tunstal was informed by tlie
Chancellor that the Baily de Amount would occupy his place after
his departure ; — that tomorrow he would go to Bruges for three
or four days, and afterwards might spend some time in hunting,
while his company went to Zealand to ship the baggage. Ghent,

Calig.B.Ti. 163. i. "Copy of a letter by [Dacre], sent to the Lord Maxwell,

B. M. Warden of the West Marches of Scotland, dated the 24th day of

June last past."

Sixty or eighty Englishmen have complained to him that yes-
terday Mr. Maxwell, your brother, the Lairds of Hempesfielde
(Amesfeld), Tynwald, Ross and Holme Endes, with John Irwen,
the Duke and his clan, Nichol Cask and others, 400 horse and
more, drove away 700 "kye and oxen" from Hedderskale bog
in the debateable land. The cattle belonged to Richard Reshel
of Hubretby, John Pantre, Thomas Barker and various others
(named), some tenants of Dacre, to the number of sixty house-
holders and others, the King's tenants, within the lordship of
Arthurheth, forty householders. As the goods were taken in
the debateable ground about 11 o'clock, "which is free for Eng-
lish and Scots to eat with bitte of mouth« fro the sunrise to it
set again," desires him, as a friend, if the goods be not parted, to
restore them, which if not done, they will " follow the same ac-
cording to the laws of the Marches to the uttermost, and haif it
with the sanfoy accordingly." If he have not an answer, he will
send to the Chancellor and lords of the Council of Scotland in the
absence of the Governor, for remedy. Can prove the cattle were
on English ground the night before, from sunset to sunrise. The
King has strictly enjoined him to see all his subjects of the East,
Middle, and West Borders keep the peace. At Nawarde, St. John
Baptist's day, 24 June 1517.

number and the persons who committed the outrage, attributed to
his brother Herbert and others. The takers of the goods say it
was done orderly according to the customs of the Borders. They
were within the number of sixscore persons, and are ready to
answer him. If Dacre please to arrange a meeting at Louchmaben
Stane, and give in the names of the persons complained of, he will
get them arrested. Dacre shall have no cause to complain of him.

well disposed men," he may redress the grievances complained of
in the bill, and make arrangements for their future prevention.

Council of Scotland, and the other to the Chancellor of the same,
what time as I had justice refused, and none could get of the

noysaunce of the King my sovereign lord's subjects."

1. That the subjects of both kingdoms have been allowed to pas-
ture in the debateablo ground " with bit of mouth " from sunrise to
sunset, but if they attempt to stake cattle there for the night they
are liable to have the same driven away and destroyed. — 2. If they
be found under such cover in the day time their houses are liable to

be burnt and their goods forfeited if they refuse to come out 3. All

carts, horses, taking wood, grass or corn out of the same land, are
liable to forfeiture : " but if so be that the carriage be out of the
wain, cart, or horsebacks, or the seizure Iks made, then there is
no forfauto done." — 4. Complains that the Lairds of Hempesfeld,
Kirkmighell, and others, to the number of 200, have plundered
certain of his master's subjects on the debatable ground. Requires
that Lord Maxwell be sent to make restitution, and that some
means be taken to prevent future disturbances. Herbotel, 6 July.

lb- f. 168b. vii. [Dacre] to the Lord Chancellor [of Scotland].

Has written to the Council as above. Begs him to use his influence
with Loi-d Maxwell to preserve discipline on the borders. Though
he loves him " his counsel is light." Annerdale and Eskdale are
ready to rise, and only wait three weeks for longer nights. Unless
execution be done by Maxwell at once on the worst offenders, it
will be beyond his power to help. "And what peril and jeopardy it
is to my said Lord Maxwell to make promise to the Governor, and
not to keep it, (which is a Frenchman,) coming in his danger, I refer
that to your lordship. For there is no fault in his person, noder in
hismanhede nor wisdom, without it be for lack of good counsel : for
he is as aventurous a man of his faes as any young man that I saw
begin on the Borders this many day." Has no fault to find with
Cessford, Warden of the Middle Marches, " but that he is some
deal forgittyll and rakles." Is glad that he and the Council " take
so well with the Queen's grace." Harbotell, 6 July.

the ambassadors to see the process. Ammonius may be now quite
at ease about the collectorship and his 1,000' ducats. The Pope
will find means to cancel his obligation to Hadrian. Speaks of
some packet or money that ought to have been sent by Mamfib,
and not by the Barnardini, who might have opened certain letters
to Signor Paulo. Ammonius will have, by Signer Paulo, the brief
against Chieregato and the Pope's intention with regiuxl to the
church of St. Bride's (chiesa di Brida). {Here follows ap€usage^
very much broketiy cautioning Ammonius as to the letters of Car-
dinal Hadrian.) It has been stated in a letter that the Card, de
Medici has settled the rights of Wolsey in the affair of Toumay.
Supposes there never was heard of such a great [creation of car-
dinals] at one time, as is now intended. The Consistory lasted for
more than ten hours ; many disputes arose, and although the larger
party consented, many still hold out ; but it is thought that on
Wednesday next the Pope will have his way. It is believed that
the Cardinal of Sienna has been secretly put to death in the castle.

paintjing of himself and Pet. -^gidius ; the latter is, however, in bad
health. Erasmus was well enough, but a physician persuaded him
to take some pills to purge bile ; and when he returned to complete
his sitting, the painter refused to proceed, saying that Erasmus'
face was no longer the same. The painting is consequently de-

Erasmus to More — conU

layed. Has sent More's Epigrams and Utopia to Basle. Tunstal
is in famous health, and has read and approved the Copia and
Panegyricus of Erasmus* Cardinal Gurck has left this, some days,
not without Caesar's displeasure. Cardinal Sion left yesterday, on
which day Erasmus dined with him, and had a long talk of the N.
Testament and of the war. He is furious against the French. The
Emperor is gone to Mayence to preside over a diet. Charles is
with his Council at Ghent, where Maximilian did not come. He is
dissatisfied, and the great obstacle to peace. Philip Bishop of
Utrecht has entered his city in great pomp. The Duke of Gueldres
is attacking Friesland. If Giustinian's letter is with you let me
have it ; or ask Nicolas his secretary, to send a copy of it^ with
his congratulatory letter to Marcus Musurus. 1517.

29 June 3414. Seb. Giustinian to Erasmus.

£r. £p. App. 145. Learns from More that his letter to Erasmus has been lost, and

that Erasmus desires a copy of it. Wishes him better health than
the quack medicines (^p%llul<B illee tuce) given him by a foolish
empiric can procure. Must be on his guard against physicians,
who make no difference in their treatment of a horse and a man,
and sometime use garlic for aloes {allium pro aloe). Praises and
studies his Adagia, Has seen several of his Epistolcs. Begs he
will call upon the Bp. of Chieti for him, whose silence surprises
him. London, 29 June 1517.

30 June. 3416. Seb. Giustinian to the Doge.

GiustDesp. ii.9d. Communicated with Wolsey the Turkish news. The Turk had

been reported as dead. Two ambassadors have arrived from
France. Tried to learn the cause of their coming. Thinks it
arose for the purpose of discussing private differences. It is pro-
posed to refer them to persons on the spot, as the captain of Calais
in England, and captain of Boulogne in Fi'ance. He paid his re-
spects to these ambassadors, who are named De la Gissa (Fet. de
la Guiche) and the advocate of Boulogne. Jac. de Luambui^ (Lu-
cemburg), with the Bailiff of Hainault and Provost of CasseU, have
arrived from the Catholic King. Friar Nicolas has returned, and
the league will be sworn upon Sunday next, 6th July. If any
confederate be attacked, the King of England is to cross the sea
with 25,000 foot, the Emperor to assist with 20,000, the Catholic
King with 20,000, &c., and the Pope to excommunicate the aggressor,
— things really ridiculous, and rather calculated to furnish talk
than he carried into effect. Was not able to see the Cardinal today.

entering into a new league between the Pope, the Emperor and
England — ^the entertainment of the Swiss — the aid to be given to
the Emperor for the wars in Italy. Are not to press the King's
coming into England. Has stated in his last what sureties he will
require of the lords of the Toison. Is surprised that the King of
Castile's Council have been so long in declaring their minds touching
mutual aid to be rendered in the new confederation, as it is more
beneficial for their Prince than any other. They are to urge them
to diligence in this behalf, that special provision shall bo made for
aid to be given by the confederates of the Prince invaded, and
sums of money to be advanced by each for the Swiss. The King
has omitted no diligence to prevent the Swiss taking service with
the French, as will appear from a copy of Pace's letters inclosed.
It is of ultimate importance that the King of Castile should give
his assistance ; as, if he had sent succor on the last occasion, the
French would have been driven from Italy ; and this more concerns
him than England. Are to insist on the dangers that will ensue
if the Swiss join the French. The King will sustain the moiety of
the charge of this new voyage.

Galba,B.yi.62. During the past week, since the King came to Bruges, the Duke

B. M. of Gueldres entered Holland, burned many villages, and took two

small towns. Some think this will delay the King's voyage.
Chievres was very downcast about it. Mons. de Castres, soverain
of Flanders, is ordered to muster men, and the King is writing
letters of importance to his ambassadors in England, probably to
ask Henry's assistance. It is said the French are preparing an
army by sea in Brc[tagne], which makes some uneasy. The
preparations in Zealand for the King's departure are complete.

which the Bp. of Ileina has delivered, touching the last treaty be-
tween the Emperor, Henry and himself, seeing that, thus corrected,
they are clearer and " moins vicieuses'* than if the words now erased
remained as before. As it is not possible for him to provide for
the great affair cansed by Messire Charles de Gueldres in Holland,
without assistance from Henry, seeing that the voyage to Spain

to ask for the 100,000 gold florins which he has promised to lend.

tlfem, containing his credence. Is to ask Henry to lend Charles a
good sum of money on his obligation, and that of five or six of his
principal servants, as he is put to great expense by the journey to
Spain, the war in Friesland, and other things. Has already men-
tioned this matter to the Bp. of Helna, considering that the time for
the journey to Spain is approaching. The Bishop mentioned it to
the Cardinal of York, found the King disposed to comply, and to lend
100,000 gold florins, Rhenish, if the 35,000 cr. g. which he spent
for the troops sent to the Emperor's and the King's assistance during
his minority for the reduction of Gueldres and Venloo be included.
Is to request the King to lend him the said sum of 100,000 fl.,
and he promises to pay the 3,000 cr., which, however, will be
difficult at present, as he heard ' eight days ago that Messire Charles
de Gueldres has sent six or seven thousand footmen into Holland,
who have committed many outrages. Will repay the sum lent in
four years, at 25,000 fl. a year. De la Sauch is to urge haste, as he
will soon set but, and as Gueldres continues his pillage. Will give
sufficient surety for the 35,000 cr. g. when in Spain. If d'Aussy, de
Fresin and the Provost of Cassel have left before his arrival, he
is to address himself to the Bp. of Helna. If Henry will not
consent to lend the said 100,000 fl. without the inclusion of the
35,000 cr. g. they are to agree to it, but not readily. They are
to send information as speedily as possible. 6 July 1517. Signed.

Gittst Detp. II. 95. The league was sworn on the 5th hj the King, in the presence of

Charles' ambassadors. That done, the imperial ambassadors and
Fra- Nicholas were summoned, who announced that the Pope had
heard with extreme satisfaction of the alliance. The document
containing the assent of the Pope was exhibited ; these forms are
unusual, and were done out of honor to Henry. Two tables were
served ; the Cardinal and the ambassadors from Charles being at
one table ; Sebastian, with the Dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk, and
the Marquis of Dorset, at the other. The ambassadors have been
munificently treated ; partly to cajole their master, partly because
one of them, "a youth about twenty years old and extremely
handsome," is descended from three emperors ; his father is
governor of Flanders, and his father-in-law is De Chievres, who
has as much authority there as Wolsey here. He is the boon com-
panion of the Catholic King, and shares all his secrets as familiarly
as if he were his brother.

*' After dinner, his majesty took this ambassador into the Queen's
chamber, and made her and all those ladies pay him as much honor
as if he had been a sovereign, giving him amusements of every
description ; the chief of which, however, and the mpst approved
by his Majesty, was the instrumental music of the reverend Master
Dionysius Memo, his chaplain, which lasted during four consecutive
hours, to the so great admiration of all the audience, and with such
marks of delight from his Majesty aforesaid, as to defy exaggeration."
On the 17th was a stately joust with new and costly decorations.
The King jousted with Suffolk like Hector and Achilles. Then
came a banquet. ^^ His Majesty sat between the most serene Queen
his consort, and his sister the Queen Dowager of France ; next, on
the right hand, the Cardinal was seated, and on the left the Imperial
ambassador. Then came the rest of us ambassadors in succession,
and next the dukes and marquises, no person being seated below the
grade of a marquis. The ladies, indeed, sat alternately, that is to
say, a gentleman and then a lady. Greut was the sumptuousness of
the repast, and the profusion of plate ; the cupboard filled with
vessels, said to be all of gold." Since then there has been great
banquettings and feastings, but the chief dish is Memo's music.
The Catholic King will leave for Spain in eight or ten days.
Believes that the French ambassadors are sojourning here for some
other reason than he has been able to discover. It is currently
reported that they are negotiating for a league. When this was
repeated to them they smiled and said nothing. Thinks their reserve
very suspicious. London, 10 July 1517.

Emperor at Donawert, containing, among other things, that all the
states and cities of the empire were to appear with their horse and
foot before the Emperor's marshal. Strassburg with Hagenaw, which
Seckingen has wasted, to meet at Worms, with 300 horse : with

to which end ho has in subsidy the Kings of Denmark, PoLand,
Bohemia, and Hungary, who have promised to send 50,()00 horse.
Has heard this is true from many councillors of the Emperor and
great persons. The Duke of Wu'temberg, fearing for himself on
account of his obstinacy, asked aid of the King of France, which
has been refused. Ho has applied to the Swiss, who will doubtless

also refuse. On the July the Emperor came to Norlingen

to ask from the confederation of the Swiss larger aid than he has
hitherto had. Mentz, 10 July 1517. Signed.

Givst Desp. n. 101. To do honor to the Flemish envoys, the ambassadors were in-

vited to a joust on the 7tli. The King entered the lists about
two. First came the marshal in a surcoat of cloth of gold, sur-
rounded by thirty footmen in yellow and blue livery ; then came
the drummers and trumpeters in white damask, followed by forty
knights in cloth of gold ; " and after them twenty young knights
on very fine horses, all dressed in white, with doublets of cloth
of silver and white velvet, and chains of unusual size, and their
Iiorses were barbed with silver chainwork, and a number of pen-
dant bells, many of which rang. Next followed thirteen pages,
singly, on extremely handsome horses, whose trappings were half
of gold embroidery and the other half of purple velvet embroidered
with gold stars. Then came fifteen jousters armed, their horse
armor and surcoats being most costly ; and alongside of each was
one on horseback, sumptuously dressed, carrying his lance, with
their footmen." Then appeared the King in silver bawdkin,
with thirty gentlemen on foot, dressed in velvet and white satin.
Among the jousters were the Duke of Suffolk, the Marquis of
Dorset, and my Lord Admiral. The King jousted with Sufifblk,
and tilted eight courses, both shivering their lances at every time,
to the great applause of the spectators. The jousts lasted four
hours, but the honor of the day was awarded to the King and
the Duke. Between the courses the King and other cavaliers
made their horses jump and execute acts of horsemanship, to the
delight of evcrylx)dy. Under the windows were the Queens of
England and France. The adjoining chamber was occupied by
the Cardinal and his attendants.

" The jousts being ended, a beam was brought, some twenty
feet in length and nine inches in diameter, and was placed on
the head of one of his miyesty's favorites, by name Master Carol,
who was one of the jousters, and he ran a long way with the
beam on his head, to the marvel of every body." Of the two tents,
one of cloth of gold cost the King 10,000 ducats, and was made
when he crossed over to France in 1515 (1513); the other was
of silk, surrounded by scaffolds, containing 50,000 persons. After
the joust was a banquet, and at the head of the hall sat the King,
between the Queens of England and France, and with them the
Cardinal ; at the side the ambassadors, with the handsomest ladies.
•• In the centre of the hall there was a stage on which were some
boys, some of whom sang, and others played the flute, rebeck and
harpsichord, making the sweetest melody. The banquet being
ended, the King and the guests above mentioned betook themselves
into another hall, where the damsels of the most serene Queen
were, and dancing went on there for two hours, the King doing
marvellous things, both in dancing and jumping, proving himself,
as he in truth is, indefatigable." Beturned next day to London.
Everybody is talking of the late entertainment 11 July 1617.

Vit.B. XX. 58. " the same how the Pop[e] . . . [had] send to

B. M. the Swiss for vj. [thousand men] against the late Duke of U[rbino,

in which] thing his holiness hath use[d such] counsel, as he hath
done in od[re thing] is, to his great dishonor and almost [total]
ruin, if God do not help him." .... did send to Switzerland
lately the captain of his g[uard] (a Swiss, but odious to the country
for his frequent treason,) to demand the said aid, with his ambassadors
resident there. The lords of Zurich immediately called a diet.
While it was assembling, the secular ambassador suddenly went off
with the captain, and made secret agreements with other captains,

for the said • • ♦ the consent of their superiors

" was used only for to save for the Swiss be more charge

they be sent out by command [th]an otherwise."

The lords, seeing themselves deceived, and [see]ing also that the
Pope had [not] paid them their annual pension due jure faderis^
and thinking that if they helped the Pope to overrun the Duke they
might never get it, recalled all their captains and men on pain of
death and forfeiture. The French King had granted them passage
by the duchy of Milan ; but the lords have written thither to the
governors that no man is to have passage. This is thought to be a
Frenchc practise. The Bp. of Verulaue is in trouble about this
business. He can get, and is likely to get, no answer from the

Swiss, "except [there be paid] unto them their pension

without delay. And said late Duke of Urbi[no]

to the cities and towns of at this

time (as we do daily parties) veiy strong jn arms

favor of the people, because he [hath] unto this time

prosperously succeeded. [Nam ita ele]ganter a Justine scriptum
est : Quo fortun[a in]clinat, ibi et favor hominum." The Pope
is in great extremity, and, what is worst in war, has no money. He
has spent in this war against the Duke above 4CX),000 ducats. Had
he followed his friend's advice, and spent a third of it in time, he
[had] been clear out of the busi[nc»s]. He repents now, but is
wise too late. Like many, when they will not they can, when they
will they cannot. [Constance.]

church with the young Cardinal de Croy, whose hat was brought
him yesterday for the first time. After mass the papal nuncio set
forth the reasons of this new creation. Then the Cardinal made his
oath to tlie Pope, thanking God, the Pope, the King, and his uncle the
Lord Chievres, by whose means he had obtained this advancement.
Bad news has come from Holland. Aspre has been taken, the in-
habitants cruelly slain. " The town of the Hay, because it is open,
is left desolate, and the people fied for fear of them ; howbeit they
have not been, because there is no prey." The lords of Nassau,
of Isilsteiu, and Mons. de Wusner, are assembling forces against
them. The leader of the insurgents is a halberdier, late servant of
Nassau. Certain troops cashiered by the French King have assem-
bled on the edges of Burgundy. The business of Holland delays

occasion tacitly to condenm him. Has replied to him. Palgrave is
gone to England ; Leo studies Greek earnestly. Hears that two
Cardinals have been degraded, and Cardinal St. George condenmed
to perpetual imprisonment. Hopes he will find some favor ; were

Sheffield on the day tha Earl appointed. Will send measures for
corn and ale, and weights for bread, as soon as he can have carriage.
" I dare send no sultwiche until such time as I have above said,
for here is good plenty of rain." Sends by the bearer, in a pack,
five pieces of good canvas, to line hangings. Has three more at
Coldharbour, which shall come at the next carriage. Though the
breadth is scant, there are twelve score halves to the 100 by the
rope, with advantage. Has sent in the pack, 6 pieces [of] say,
3 red and 3 green ; and by Wm. Mold, 8 doz. quails, as many as he
could get, for they are few and dear. No hares, oranges, or lemons
have yet come. Has not yet made any bargain for lead, as he fears
the price will fall. Merchants who bought lead a year ago have it
still to sell, and wish to sell the old before buying any new. It
would be well to sell some at Hull. Has delivered the letter to
my Lord of Suffolk. Has the same answer he had before. He has
sent the Earl a letter for respite of the same, which Alen supposes
was made three weeks ago.

Seb. Giustinian to the Council of Ten.

The Spanish ambassadors have departed, and have received
100,000 crowns for their King's voyage into Spain. They had 7,000
ducats in presents, but the largest portion fell to the lot of Jaques
de Luamburg (Lucemburg ?) Nothing is talked of here, but peace.
No one cares about the Turks. " I will leave nothing undone to
despatch the affair of the wines ; but am of opinion that this delay
in the settlement of the business proceeds from the Cardinal's wish
to be cured of the squilcfitia, a disease under which he is just now
suffering." London, 19 July 1517.

Vit B. XIX. 375. [Wrote from] Frankfort on the 21 st inst., and again, here in

B. M. Augsburg, [assuring him] of the continued goodwill of the Emperor

towards the King. The Emperor has doubts, by reason of the non-
payment of the 10,000 fl. so often asked for, and the other 6,000,
that the King is beginning to fall off from his accustomed kindnefis.
His correspondent can infer what evils are like to ensue. " Cumque
totus mundus in maligno posit[sus sit, etl rara comperta fides, pro-
fecto ne mala malis et pericula pe[riculi6j . . . potius observandam
quam dissolvendam judicaremus tantam amicfitiam et] filialis
affectus vicissitudinem, et non tam vili pecunia, si ([pecuniaj in causa
est, comparandam vel dirimendam." If those whom experience of
mutual kindness and of blood have joined should quarrel, how will
their enemies rejoice. The money is not of so much value that the
friendship between the two Kings should be endangered for it.
Begs him to inform the King and Cardinal that he had received no
answer. Sends with this the latest news, and the substance of a
new secret treaty commenced at Rome, with a copy of his own
letters intended for his own agent at Rome. Begs that his faithful
service may be offered to the King and Wolsey, and his state of
exile and poverty mentioned. He is compelled by the rebellion
excited under French auspices by Super-Saxo, to the damage of his
church of Sion and his temporal dominions, to go to the Swiss
against St. James's Day. If Henry, or the confederate kings, or
the Pope wish anything to be done by his management there, he
can very conveniently servo them under that cloak.

The news is from Rome, that after the three cardinals, St. Greorge,
Sauli and Petrucci, had been [condemned] for high treason, and
other crimes had been discovered they were degraded and stripped
of their mitres on the 24th of last month (p^'). It is said that
St. George [has been forgiven] on payment of 160,000 ducats, and

Sauli for 50,000. " De Senensi tauquam princi forte

Francis de Ruere has seized upon the marches of Ancona, and
levied contributions. He has agreed with the Dux Camerinus,
by the payment of 8,000 ducats, who tries to make peace between
him and the Pope, whom he intends to with draw from the French,
The matter was nearly settled on the 1st of this month. The
Viceroy assists the latter with 500 lances and 3,000 foot. There
is a good understanding between the Florentines and Lorenzo.
The Swiss, not receiving their pay, have risen upon upon the
captain of the guard and others whom they suspect of Gal-
licising. ** Et quosdam alios quos Helvetii Gallissimos repu-

Chamberlain in ordinary, to devise means to administer justice for
the depredations committed on both sides since the treaty made by
the late King Lewis XII., and that with the present King. If the
injured parties endeavor to obtain redress in the common courts of
law, it will not only be a very great labor, but end in their tottl *
destruction. To avoid this, three or four suitable persons shall be
appointed by Henry to be at Calais on I Sept. next, and reside
there for three mondis to receive complaints from French subjects
of robberies by the English on land or sea. No form or process to
be used, but equal justice administered without putting the partiea
to further expence. A similar commission to be made by FrancLe
to sit at Boulogne during the same time, to receive complaints frocjci
English subjects. The above-named commissioners provide thsa^'^

R. T. 137. there leave the chambers of their artillery before proceeding to

Bordeaux. English merchants and sailors coming either by land or
sea are allowed to come into Bordeaux without restriction, there
being sometimes seven or eight thousand in the town. The English
merchants liave become so intimate with the inhabitants of the
neighbourhood of Bordeaux, Medoc, Solac, Blaye, &c., that, in case
of a rupture between England and France, the English would find
no difficulty in landing. Before the King granted them these
liberties, all Englishmen were obliged to wear a red cross while in
the town, and all the merchandise was brought down to them there.
Permission had to be asked of the mayor or submayor if they
wished to go into the country, and an archer was given them to
conduct them, or, if they wished to go to Bayonne, the governor or
his lieutenant had to be asked for leave.

merchandise is confiscated. Searchers are also sent to verify the
amount stated after the merchandise is placed in the cellars for sale.
They are only allowed to deal with citizens of the town in which
they are, under pain of confiscation. No merchant is allowed to
take more than 10 crowns out of England. They cannot go to the
weekly fairs for cloth, &c. held at different English towns. Bonds
between French and English merchants arc not kept in England.

Vit. B. XX. 60. Wrote last [how the Swiss] had denied aid to [the Pope for] lack

B. M. of pa3rment of [their annual] pension, with other causes. Since

that date, the Pope, by the advice of the Bp. of [Ve]roli, who has
informed him of everything, has sent in great haste the pension to
the Swiss, with more money, a[mply] sufficient for the sending
into Italy of 6,000 or 8,000 footmen, which as yet [they have] not
granted him. They sit now in their diet. One th[ing] is much
against the Pope's peti[tion] " that the Swiss doth suspect •

* * them against the r(»alm of ey should be

seen to break unto the King Catholic, [which th]eye

will not do, considering [that he] is their confederate." Sends
to Ammonius a letter of my Lord of Worcester [direc]ted to
himself iu Ital'au, by which Wolsey will perceive the occurrences
at Rome, "qua? sunt phiiie monstra, omni dedecore, et infamia
plena ; omnis fides, omnis honestas, una cum religione, a mundo
abvolasse videntur." The Pope has sent a brief to every canton, by
a special messenger, asking aid. The cause of his anxiety is that the
Duke daily succeeds against him. If he do not get aid of the Swiss,
it is supposed he is [like] to be undone.

Had written [thus far when a messenger came] from the [Swiss]

♦ ♦ * . . . " ddo that they have not concluded t[o allow]
his holiness any aid, but have [referred the ma]tter unto another
diet. C[redo] perire papa." The causes of this [re-
fusal] are : (l)that the Pope [did not] pay their pension in time ;
(2) his agents would have had their m[en by] crafl against their
will. The Emperor [has] written to the Swiss against the PopCy
intending to put him to desperation, and so to pluck some money

from him. Some here think that the Emperor and the French
King have agreed to divide Italy, for which reason the Emperor
has prevented the Pope's getting aid from the Swiss. The French
King, with his usual craft, has command[ed] 500 men of arms [he]
has in the duchy of Milan for to * * • . . "ys his com-
mandment. He did per[ceive] that the Swiss would not go . . ,
[Whether the] Swiss in their next diet will [do] any other thing in
favor of the [Pope's hol]iness, or not, I cannot say." Constance,
27 July.

6all)a,B.T.29I. Was sent for by the King of Castile this day, and was told by

B. M. the Baily Damont, who supplies the Chancellor's roora, that he was

sent for to witness the scaling of certain bonds for money borrowed
of England. The King then said that now was the time he must
ask England's help in advancing the loan, and desired Tunstal
to write that his wish might be accomplished as soon as possible,
that he might start on his voyage ; and he was the more bold to
press it as England was better furnished with money at this time
than he was. Tunstal said he had received no letters to that e^
at present, and therefore could give no assent ; that possiblj
Spinelly, who was not returned, had some letters for him. Tben
four -writings were brought: Ist, the principal obligation of the
King of Castile for 100,000 florins, which the King then signed and
sealed ; and a commission to the Bp. of Helna and De la Zouche to
receive the money : 2nd, a security from the Chancellor, now gone
into Spain : 3rd, a bond for the payment of 35,000 crowns lent bito
by England in times past^ but not paid : 4th, a bond subscribed by
De Ilavenstein, Nassau, the Prince of Chimay and Chievres, with a
blank for the Chancellor. Had Tunstal known for what purpose he
had been sent he would not have gone. Nothing that he has done,
however, can bind the King of England. Myddilborowe, 28 July.

Golba, B. VI. 67. Wrote last on the 27th. On the 28th visited Casius, who is not re-

B. M. covered. He told Spinelly Felynger was appointed by the Emperor

to come to Brussels, that Casius is to go with Chievres and the
Chancellor to the meeting at Noyon. He thinks there will be no
difficulty between the Emperor and the French; that the latter 'will
abandon the Venetians, and take the investiture of Milan. The
Emperor has given great thanks to this King for his assistance, and
has countermanded the horsemen of Naples, desiring only payment
of 6,000 Almains for keeping Verona. Is informed by the Lord
Berghes that the King had written to the Emperor, to send some
great personage to Noyon, and that Chievres is not on bad terms
with him, as Hesdin had said. As there will be no lack of occasion,
when the King is in Spain, to break with the French, thinks the
Emperor will be brought to do as Chievres and the Chancellor wish.
The ambassador of Arragon, De la Roche, and Louis de Marlyan
think the same. Preparations are not yet made for going into
Spain. There is some talk of the King passing into France. News
s from Gueldres. Thinks it would be advisable if peace could be

made between the Emperor and the Venetians, the former remaining
an enemy to France; then the agreement of this King and France
would be less mischievous. But the Emperor is very difficult to
manage. Suggests a method. Before yesterday showed the news
in this letter to Master Deputy (Wingfield), who dispatched the post
without consulting Spinelly. Recommends the case of Mr. Giles
Ringot. Mr. Carnyn, a canon of Lysle, and a friend of his, whose
brother is groom of the Chaml)er to the French King, offers to send
information. '' Alamyre hath been with me and marvellously with
your grace. He is gone about the business that your grace wet of."

that Henry had offered him a pension, which he refused. They are
very well disposed towards England, and have concluded to give
pensions to my Lord " Norfolko," and ray Lord Chamberlain. Is
advertised by a secretary of the Bishop of Badajos that Don Pedro
d'Ureas, by letters from Rome on the 14th, states that "Cardinal
Hadrian was arrived at a town in Aprutyo, a country of the realm
of Naples, called Francavylla, the which stands upon the sea of

Cardinal Hadrian has reached Yenice, disguised as a fool, as he

who gave him a safeconduct. Has no doubt he has written much
to excuse himself. The Pope advises them to beware of him. His
privation in facto shall be [as soon] as he is expelled from where
he is {sara come di costa sara cacciaio). Even now he does not
desist from intriguing. But at least Worcester's 1,000 ducats are
safe, and also, he trusts, the collcctorship, if sufficient influence
be used. This must be well thought of, for if he be deprived of
the collcctorship aud not of the cardinalate, the former may be
restored in time, and if Ammonius have onlj the name he will
be compelled to pay 200 ducats "[aquelllo arohmio"(?) every

Duke of Albany are here. The latter has but three months' leave,
and they will give him money and men " pour frapper sur vous par
Escosse." He has told the King that he has got 30 or 35 pieces
of the best artillery made for him, with which he will beat you
well. After he had spoken with the King at Dieppe, the latter
sent one of the Duke's gentlemen to get ready with diligence the
ships at Brest and Honneileur. All the masons, carpenters and
. pioneers throughout Normandy are set to work, either upon those
ships or in building the harbours and some large towers beyond
Honnefleur; and there is no considerable town in France where
they are not making artillery. The King has also sent cap-
tains into Grcrmany to obtain 10,000 lansequenets. He has 10,000
Swiss in his retinue, but they will not serve out of the king-
dom. The Duke of Suffolk (Richard do la Pole), who is in
Lorrayne, is to command the lansequenets. The King fears the pro-
ject may be discovered, and that you may make war upon him
before Albany's return to Scotland, which the writer thinks would
be advisable. Those of Tournay are all for [the French King].

Roy que jamais il retoume par dccza.'' The King has sent 500
men of arms to the Pope, with 300 who were there. There are,
besides, 8,000 or 9,000 foot. When this affair is dispatched, thej
will attack you. The companies of the Bastard of Savoy and the
[Sieur] de la Palice are there, with many others. But, as the
writer has always said, the King and the Duke of Urbino under-
stand each other, and the Pope ought not to trust the Fi'ench.
The Pope and King have laid most of the churches in Paris
under interdict, " pour ce qu'ilz nont voullu et empeschcnt le de-

to[ut] largent se despent en toutes follyes :" but the divines have
[passed] conclusions against them, and perform the services notwith-
standing. Even the parliament of Paris (as I have already written)
wishes to break the conclusion which the [King] has made with the
Pope about the Pragmatic Sanction. To make them agree he has sent
thither {a y envoye) the Bastard, much against the wishes of the

their enterprises. " On me mando a chacun voiage de menvoyer

The King has received letters that the Turk is making great
preparations against us, but he must first get rid of the affair of the
Pope and you, before Peter Navarre and Bernardyn go thither, if
they ever do go. I think you are the Turks they will attack.
The Archduke, if well advised, will be in no huiTy to go to Spain.
Without a horse and pay the writer will not go at his own cost.
Advises him to bo watchful over those at Toumay and the Marchess
of Scotland. If you let the Duke of Albany return, he will do you

6 Aug. 3558. Ser Giustinian to the Doge.

GiustDesp. 11.113. The Catholic King is in Zealand, waiting to embark. Great

cruelties have been committed by the Duke of Gueldres in the
invasion of Friesland. As the King, in consequence of the new
malady, had withdrawn himself to a distance, found great
difficulty in speaking with him. '' This disease makes very quick
progress, proving fatal in twenty-four hours at the furthest, and
many are carried off in four or five hours. The patients experience
nothing but a profuse sweat, which dissolves the frame, and when
once the twenty-four hours are passed all danger is at an end."
Many of his own household are sick. Few strangers are dead, but
an immense number of natives. Presented the King with the
letters from the Signory and Hadrian, which last he " extracted
from the packet addressed by his lordship to the Cardinal of York;"
otherwise Wolsey would never have delivered it to his majesty.
The King said he was perfectly acquainted with the business* and
had heard from the Pope that he intended to deprive and degrade
Hadrian. On Sebastian's endeavoring to excuse the Cardinal's
absence from Rome, rather than incur danger, the King said : " I
understand this matter better than you Venetians ;" and seemed
greatly exasperated against him. Thinks this is owing to Wolsey.
Would have presented the letter to Wolsey, but he " has been ill of
this sweating sickness, and would that the perspiration had car-
ried off his wish for these benefices." Many of his household have
died from the sweat.

Sebastian s son has returned from the Bp. of Winchester ; his
audience was delayed because this prelate likewise had taken the
sweat. He had a gracious welcome by Fox, who represented the
matter as desperate, saying : " We have to deal with the Cardinal,
who is not Cardinal but King, and no one in the rcAlm dares
attempt aught in opposition to his interests." He was already in
possession of the see, and Fox had resigned the adminis-
tration of it. Ho said that one of the pontifical briefs greatly
exaggerated Hadrian's crimes, and urged that the see of Bath
should be given to Wolsey in commendam. But in the second
})rief the anger of the Pope was much softened, and he seemed to
delay the execution of the former one. The second brief, however,
is not to be found, and your highness will comprehend by whose
means it has been secreted. The Bp. also wrote a letter to Chiere-
gato, of which Sebastian encloses a copy. London, 6 Aug. 1517.

Begs him candidly to communicate anything calculated to create
distrust, and not to give it too easy credit. Cannot be sufficiently
grateful for the unmerited honor the King has thought fit to bestow
on him. Spinelly's return, and the charge entrusted to him, have
been most satisfactory to the King of Castile. He shall always

B. M. was advertised of the Cardinal of Arragon going to Antwerp, and

thence to England. By the advice of the Master of the Rolls,
wrote to the Deputy of Calais to detain the Cardinal till he should
hear more. On delivering the King's letters to Chievres, was de-
sired to wait till next day, but took the opportunity of telling him
that the Cardinal was going to England, and asking him if he had
any letters from the Pope or the Catholic King ; that, considering
the Pope had entered the league, the Cardinal's departure from
Rome was suspicious. Begged to have him recalled. Chievres told
him he was glad of the Cardinal's departure, ** for he is a mervel-
lycuse mann, that hath inportuned us of many thynges." Ho told
Spinelly the next day that the Bp. of Badajos had written to the
Cardinal to go no further. Spinelly thinks the sole reason of the
Cardinal's going to England was to get a taste of the King's
liberality. Told Chievres that great offers had been refused for
Tournay ; who said, when the King was in Spain some overture
should bo made in the matter. Ho will speak to the King of
Mr. Sandys' son. I'he business of the Queen's physician has been
settled. He and the Master of the Rolls think that Chievres'

him the letter, knowing how much the Italians are afraid of coming
into a place where there is danger of death. The courage of the

labo[r] " this great league is brought to perfection to thfe] King's

touching my return into Switzerland for the same and with the

he them. Whichever way events turn, by Wolsey's wisdom
the King will be safe. Wlien he goes, begs that he may not want
money. The charges here are great, but there intolerable ; and
most likely they will, according to their custom, prolong tho
business unnecessarily. **• My Lord, besides the promotions [th]at
your grace hath obtained for me [from the] King's highness,

whereof as yet I couth never nothing little at home,

and my pe[n8ion is] right evil paid, and all [the money] thereof
expende." If Wolsey has been otherwise informed of his promotion,
some one has been meddling, and knows nothing of his necessity.

Since his last, the Emperor has written to the Swiss in favor of
the Pope : yet when one of Uie Pope's ambassadors had raised 2,000
or 3,000 men in tho Emperor's territory, the Emperor called them
all in, saying ho would employ them himscli* against the Duke of

Glust DeFp.ii. 117. The Gatholic King, who is waiting for fair wind, expects it from

these shores. Yesterday 15,000/. was sent him for his voyage.
Upon sending his secretary to Gardinal Wolsey, the latter made
bitter complaints against the Signory, and especially against the
writer. " Your master, he said, has had the daring to give letters,
and to canvass against me, at ^he request of a rebel against his
holiness. Nor can I but complain of the Signory for taking such a
delinquent under her protection. Gontinuing a long while in this
state of mental excitement, he again burst forth to the secretary
thus : * I charge your ambassador and you not to write anything out
of this kingdom without my consent, under pain of the indignation
of the King, and of the heaviest penalties :' which expressions,
and all those above mentioned, he repeated several times, becoming
more and more exasperated. While thus irritated, he held a cane
in his hand, and kept gnawing it with his teeth." The secretary
made the best apology, and stated that his master had only acted
according to the commands of the Signory, and endeavored to
obtain an appointment for him. Wolsey would only reply : Pro-
batio amoris est exhibitio operis. Was extremely anxious when
he heard it. Galled upon Wolsey early in the morning : found him
in bed, and waited three hours : was refused admission on the plea
of Wolsey's indisposition. Aware that this was only an excuse,
went to the Bp. of Durham, who is well acquainted with Wolsey's
proceedings, and excused himself. Hopes by his means to obtain
an interview tomorrow. London, 15 Aug. 1517.

OiiiBtI>e9.n.lS0. "Visited the Bishop of Durham, who told him that Wolsej was

extremely incensed, and refused to hear any exculpation, and that
it would be better to avoid him for a day or two. Sebastian
thought this would only irritate him the more, and called upon him
early this morning. Was admitted, and begged to be heard.
Detailed to Wolsey the whole of Hadrian's conduct and arrival at
Venice. He exculpated Sebastian, and turned his anger against
the Signory. Sebastian made the best apology he could, and said
that, rather than offend him, the Signory woidd incur the ill will of
the whole College of Cardinab. " Whilst delivering this defence,
I could not express to your highness the rabid and insolent
language used by him, both against your sublimity and myself;
repeating, as he did several times, that he held me not in the
slightest account, nor yet the Venetians, who were wont to favor
ribalds and rebels and to persecute the good ; that Grod and the
potentates of the world would avenge such deeds ; and that your
highness was always for the rebels of the Church, and opposed to
the Pontiffs past and present; and that for this you had done
penance, and were accustomed to proceed with deceit and men-
dacity ; and that the city of Venice would be a seat for con-
spirators against the Pontiff: on which account he meant to be the
State's bitter enemy and mine, though at the same time, by reason
of my other good qualities, he regretted my being the minister
of such iniquities ; and that your Signory would also find that his
majesty took the thing very much amiss ; saying, Gro on, and
write to the State to proceed in favoring rebels against me, for she
will see what victory she will gain."

Sebastian told him that he had received letters of the 22 July
from Venice, stating that the Pope was much mollified towards
Hadrian, and thanked the Signory for its conduct in that respect.
Wolsey declared he did'nt believe the letter; because six days ago
he had received a brief from the Pope stating that if the Venetians
wrote anything in favor of Hadrian, Wolsey was not to believe
them. Made no answer to his bitter and insolent language : but,
as to his insinuation that Venice had been adverse to the Church,
Sebastian said it had done more for the Church than any other
potentate. At the conclusion of the colloquy Wolsey said that
if Venice persevered in favoring this rebel poisoner, who is said
also to have poisoned Pope Alexander, the King and himself
would be most hostile to them. Advises a soothing letter to be
sent. Is quite willing to do his duty stoutly, and is not terrified
at the punishment of others. Would feel no scruple in retaliating
the insolent language to which he has been subjected. London,

No word is said (in it) of Ennius Bp. of Veroli {bonus). He is
to be immediately recalled, or so utterly neglected as to be of no
influence here. This is because he has always opposed the French
for the King (potest) and the Emperor (idem). From this it maj
be conjectured that the Pope has sold himself to the French Eing^
and is sending to him Staphilceus with a carte blanche. If Veroli

settle matters, *• et agi." If this were not possible they

would decline lending infantry to either [party], and would afford no
aid against the Emperor. [When] the ambassadors, in the Emperor's
name, asked why the Swiss lords had refused the Pope [infantry], they
replied, if the Pope would fulfil his part of the treaty, they would, in
accordance with it, grant him infantry, but not a small band, because
they would be going to a distance, and it would be more effectual
for the Pope. Hears from the secretary of Ennius that the Bishop
is to be shortly recalled for his fidelity to England. Begs Pace
to recommend the cause of the Bishop to the King and Wolsey, so
that they may immediately write to Rome, and if he cannot be main-
tained '* digneutur eum ita habere commendatum omni destitutum
auxilio." Thinks it would be a very ungrateful act if he were
not supported. Schuitz, 17 Aug. 1517. Signed.

P.S. — Mentions the offer made him by the French, and his refusal.
Begs Pace to communicate his determination to adhere to the King,
provided only he has enough for his necessities, and to take care
that his poverty is not forgotten. Begs him to forward his letters.

R. O. At the two diets at Zurich, the last of which was held on the

11th May, has managed that the King of France shall be dissap-
pointed in obtaining fiie foot and forming a league with the cantons.
Zurich, TJri, Switz, Basil and Schaffhausen would not admit the
French secretary, on which the Gallicising cantons sent to France
statinff that he should send an embassy to them : whereon [An-
chisesj prevailed that, by virtue of their union, they should not
allow Lucerne, TJnterwalden, Glaris and Zug to agree with the
French. Money, however, must come from England, or it will be
useless. The French are very lavish, especially as the English
ambassadors, who have been expected, do not come. Has heard
that the French secretary boasted that he had had a favorable
decision from the Swiss, and the Pope was favorable. Thinks
it is not so. The Papal nuncio there favors England as far as he
can. The French boast they have forces enough in Switzerland
to acquire Navarre, Toumay and Naples. They offered the writer
a bribe of 3,000 scudi because of his influence with the Swiss.
There is French money at Geneva ( Gebennis) for payment of the
Swiss. Many have taken it, and been sent into Picardy. Has
shown the Emperor the danger, who has brought over the King
Catholic to his opinion to defeat French intrigues.

Has seen the letters of the imperial ambassador, stating the great
affection his master has for England. Hopes the latter will show
some in return, and repair previous neglect. Much depends on their
cordial understanding. Offers his person and his forces to the ser-
vice of England, and is annoyed that England does not reciprocate.
The French boast that the Danes and the Scots will shortly attack
England. Hopes Wolsey will secure a reconciliation. The Emperor
has been well supported by his subjects, who have supplied him
with 400,000 Rh. fl. Begs that an ambassador may be sent to the
imperial court, to oppose the French ambassador, who has used all
his power to break the peace with the Venetians.

Added in the same hand: ^' Super isto capitulo Csesaris eg<)
Matthffius Beccharia rogo d. v. reverendissimam ut dignetur scri-
bere reverendissimo Cuxlinali Sedunensi vel mihi signific^t quid
super hoc scripturus sim." Peter of Navarre has gone to Naples
with the French galleys (galeris\ and made an unsuccessful attack
upon Gaeta. The French King has sent thither 600 lances, pre-
tending they were for the service of the Pope. Thinks it was only
done for Peter's assistance. Begs he will ask Wolsey to remember^
his pension, and some bishopric for him in England. The Galli-
cising Swiss say that the French King will be at Milan in August
next.

now disappointed ; and as he cannot leave without it, begs Tuke's

in a good mind towards him by reason of the letters received from
Charles and Chievres. Has shipped all his stuff in the Lord
Steward's ship. Has ])late, hangings and all things necessary for
an ambassador, remembering the saying that has been spoken of Sir
John Stile, " and that those that do not keep themselves honorably
been nothing extymod." Must have the money. Hopes to get for
Wolsey a good bishopric in Spain, as Chievres is so well disposed
to him. The King is ready to leave with the first fair wind : if it
l>e before Tuke's answer come, Spinelly will have to start four days
after, letting his furniture go forward. The wind is N.W. and
very rainy. The Count Palatine has changed his purpose of going
into Spain, and will go to Almain. He is to marry the daughter of

from England. Has taken up his abode at Louvain. The Chan-
cellor lias paid part of his pension out of his own pocket. At his
departure he bade Erasmus be of good cheer, and promised him
a bishopric : it is so much easier hero to make bishops than to pay
debts. His dispute with Faber is not ended. Has sent More's
Utopia and EpigramSy S^c.y to Basle. Has not yet determined
where to settle. There is much cry here, and little wool. Does
not like Spain or Germany : " et Angliaa motus timeo et servitutem

epigrams : yet he has never been out of England more than
once or twice on an embassy to Flanders. Besides the care of a
wife and family, state and legal employments, he is so much occu-

' R. T. 137. Treaty concluded by Charles Duke of Alen90ii on the part of

B. 0« France and John Duke of Albany, on the part of Scotland. Neither

party to favor or give passage to the enemies of the other, but to
assist each other against all. enemies. If the King of England
attack Scotland, France ^vill send 100,000 cr. of the sun, 1,500
lansquenets, 500 foot soldiers and 200 archers ; the two former to
be paid by Franco only until they arrive in Scotland, the archers
to remain in the French pay. If he attack France, the Scotch are to
invade England. In case of an invasion of Scotland, France is to
att4vck the English possessions on the continent, in addition to
sending the above-mentioned- aid. Whenever war is made against
France, Scotland is to send 6,000 men to her assistance. If the
French gain possession of all the English places on the continent,
they are not to abandon the war, but send an army into England
till it bo finished, by a treaty or otherwise, to the satisfaction of
Scotland. If this treaty with England bo subsequently broken,
the above-mentioned conditions to come again into force.

For corroboration of the alliance, it is agreed that if the French
King's promise of his younger daughter to the King Catholic or his
brother do not take effect, he ■ will try to obtain the Scotch King
for her husband. If the promise to the King Catholic does take
effect, if God please to give the King another daughter, she shall
Ikj betrothed to the Scotch King, if Holy Church permit. Albany
promises to procure the consent of the estates and parliament
two months after his return to Scotland. Alen9on promises, in
the name of the King, that the said ratification shall bo presented

thinks Wolsey must have known by his letter of the 24th July.
The Count Palatine has departed, to the astonishment of all, as he
was ready to sail with the King, and in high favor. Spinelly
writes of it. His friends think that Chievres was the cause of it,
who wishes to obtain for his nephew, Count Porsenne, the daughter
of Grondisalvo Ferdinando, who was promised to the Count Palatine.
It would have been hard to break this betrothal, as the lady had
sent the Palatine tokens by a religious man. Porsenne is small of
growth, and not like the other in birth or body. The Emperor has
written in behalf of him. Others say Chievres was jealous of his
favor with the King. His enemies say that he wrote a letter to
Lady Eleanor, the King's sister, asking her to marry, ** which letter
the King found in my Lady Eleanor's bosom himself, saying that the
said Count had shrewdly recompensed him for the good choice that
he hath had, to demand of his sister marriage, not making him
privy." The King would listen to no intercession in his favor,
whether of his own mind or not, Tunstal cannot say. He is much
regretted. Does not think the King will leave, as the wind is so
contrary and the moon is waning : though the King asserts he will
go even if it be in winter. Chievres pretends not to care about the
marriage. Cardinal Croy has the archbishopric of Seville, lately
void, worth 20,000 ducats. There is great talk of the sweating
sickness, which he is glad to hear Wolsey has escaped. Many urge
this as a reason for staying the King, as he could not land in
England if overtaken by a storm. Mydelborgh, 27 Aug.

ilba,B.T.3i2. Since his last writing a post has come from the French court,

B. M. showing that the French were in hand for the despatch of the

Scots homewards, but no mention was made of Albany. Chievres
has promised Spinelly that the ambassador shall make further
inquiry. The French are jealous of the amity between England
and this house, sho^\^l in the reception of Daussy, and are ill-
pleased at the report of La Guiche, that the Burgundians call
Henry protector of these countries. The Audiencer told him that
an offer had been made by the French that if Charles would
abandon England they would give him Gueldres, and the Duke
both, with leave to hang him. The Count Palatine is gone home
in disgrace on account of the letter written to the Lady Eleanor.
" Though the said letter was but honest, concerning matters of
love and her marriage," Charles is displeased that he was not con-
sulted. The Archduchess, Chievres and the Prince of Orange
first interceded, but he refused to see him. "Wherefore upon
this his constancy into a like affair many do conject in him good
stomak and cowraggy, and that he shall not lightly forget the

Don Louis Carroz bas been sent with the ambassadors of Naples,

. The Emperor has written, desiring tbe King to defer the voyage
to Spain, and go by Germany and Italy, but no mention is made
who is to bear the charges. When it was proposed to the King
to delay, he said those who were afraid might stop at home.
Bannisins says the Emperor has written to the Venetians in behalf
of Cardinal Hadrian. " Tbe Cardinal of An*agon is arrived in
the French court, and oftentimes goeth in habit secular, as he did
at Antwerp, where he went in cloak, with a swerd to the side. Her
he made rowne (run) and lep a horse ; wherfor your grace may
conyecte what manerre of man be is." Chievres begs that Wolsey
will "leave apart tbe pension offered to him by the King my
master, saying if his highness will remember him with some gra-
tuity, he will not refuse it. The Audiencer saith the two pensions
shall be sent unto your grace, and that the King his master is of
a condition that be woll promise little and keep much." He has
assisted in settling the difference between tbe English merchants
and the tonellars, and Spinelly thinks be ought to be remembered

tive of weight, brought by English merchants from the North, and
it was agreed in the treaty of intercourse concluded five years since
that tolls, &c. should remain as before, but, notwithstanding this,
the toll collector at Zealand has the sacks weighed, maintaining that
two " waghes" make a sack. The King therefore orders that the
ancient toll of 8 gros per sack, in'espective of weight, shall be in

troubled countenance and bent brow. Told him of the Turkish
news, which he said he had heard already. " Perceiving that he
said nothing at all to me on this or any other topic, I then ofiered
to accompany his right reverend lordship on his journey with an
honourable train, at my own cost ; but without appearing flattered
even by this proposal, he said he had no need of any additional
company beyond his own retinue, which was both honorable and
numerous. He has been ill of late ; and really his appearance, in
addition to his mental perturbation, indicates this, although the
profuse perspiration endured by him has not yet quite carried off

Is sorry to be fio troublesome in requesting repayment of the sums
he has laid out in the King's service. The Pope sent for him while
tying up this packet^ and told him that the agreement between him-
self and the Spanish captains who served under Francesco Maria
had been concluded on their leaving the Duke's service. Although
the Catholic King favoured the arrangement, the said soldiers were
not willing, until they heard that certain Swiss and Germans were
on the march to support the Pope ; and the taking of the ports, that
Francesco Maria had promised, was far from easy. The Pope paid a
large sum out of his own finances rather than run the risk of battle,

' - because these captains are bound by the towns to restore to him

the State of Urbino, and he would rather incur this expense than
have recourse to the French,1[ The treaty is not yet concluded,
but will be. The Pope bade Worcester write that he would shortly
ratify the treaty, and the more so as he has heard from France
that the King Catholic has taken ship, at which he is much pleased.

7 Sept 8666. Tunstal and Spinellt to Henbt YIIL

Galbe^B. t. 316. After the King had returned to the castle two leagues off, visited

B. M. Chievres to know about the King's voyage. He showed him

a letter from France containing news of Albany, who had been
despatched to Scotland, but was recalled, and will not go there till
after Christmas. The King has arranged for the government of Sco^
land, and sent home the estates not very well satisfied. Queen Mar-
garet attempts to make parties there ; also Francis will send an am*
bassador to England for the surrender of Tournay and a new treaty,
and has offered 400,000 crowns. The news is unpalatable to
Chievres, who states that before Charles made a league with France
he preferred the King's amity above all others, and he trusted Eng-
land would now make no league with France which should be pre-
judicial to his master's interest. Tunstal replied that England would
be sure to keep its faith to the uttermost, and do nothing prejudicial
to the King of Castile ; and it was probably only a rumor of the
French. Chievres said that Spain was pacified, and that the French
King had given out he might have had Sicily if he would, but
would not bre^ his faith with his son-in-law. Francis had urged
the King to go to Spain by land, offering hostages and the keys of
the cities through which he should pass. But the King refused
his offers, and, as the wind changed the same day, he resolved to
depart.

Have been with Chievres this morning to know the time of
the King's departure. Chievres said that *4f the Frenchmen will
be busy against him, your grace shall see him speak of another
sort than he hath yet done, becau[8e] hitherto he has spoken

always as man kneeling on his knees, and wh[en] he shall be

not favorable, the King is determined to land in England, in hii
absence the King will establish a council, consisting of the kniriiti
of the Tojson and others, to sit at the court a certain hour bcmwe
dinner, and an hour after, and had left with them a tachett, t.«. a
signet, kept in a box^ which is not to be opened except before them
all; the more voices to carry it. The King has recommended his
Council to the Emperor, to England and to F^tmce, that France might
not seem n^lected. He intends to make a truce with Gneldns,
and paj a sum of money for surrender of the tovms taken in
Friesland. The Emperor has sent 3,000 lanceknights to the Pope,
who is in great trouble, and must be assisted. At taking leave he
begged his recommendations to Henry. This day he was shriven
once again, for he was *' housilyd at the last opposition," when he
trusted to have fair weather. This evening he goes to Flnahing
to take sail tomorrow. Myddleborowe, the v[ij.] Sept. SignedL

P.S. — Monsr. Montigny will be left in trust, with whom the King

GtllM, B. T. 821. The King of Castile embarked this day. He was resolved to go

B.1I. notwithstanding all opposition. The weather is the fairest thai

could be known. Many men's stuff was discharged. Refers him
to Spinellj's letters. In regard to the citadel of Toumaj, has
heard wise men say that if the town were now rendered to the
French they would oppress Flanders and Brabant: therefore
Chtevres would not like to see it in their hands. If the King,
therefore, is minded to give up Tournay, thinks it would be ad-
visable to ofier it in the first instance to Charles on his arrival in
Spain, in exchange for some other place. Various arguments for
this proposition. Thinks the King will have in time to come a snb*
stantial friend in the King of Castile^ and more trustworthy than
the French. Intends to repair to Calais to await the King's pleasure.
Desires to return, as he has not been at his own house for two

book De Recta Principatus AdministrtUione^ in which he makes
Philip of Castile the type of a good prince ; upon whose death
Henry Vill., then Prince, addressed letters of condolence to Eras-
mus. Fears the King had no leisure to peruse the book he sent him
on the last occasion in consequence of the wars ; now hears that his
majesty has returred to his early studies ; *' ac subinde cum libris
colloqui, non quibuslibet, sed iis potissimum qui pietatem, qui regiam
sapientiam doceant." Is busily engaged with the New Testament
This winter, which he proposes to spend at Louvain, will be devoted
to the work. The King Catholic has sailed from this with a favor-
able wind. Hopes he will fully succeed in Spain. Is greatly
apprehensive of some disturbances in the Low Countries. The
death of Ammonius has occasioned him great grief. Jerome Bus-
leyden is also dead, who was formerly ambassador in England.

£r. £p. ui. 2. The King of Spain had scarcely set sail when Tunstal and his

retinue returned from Zealand so poisoned with the foul odors of
the country that by strict fast of seyeral days he was barely able
to keep off an attack of fever. Before he left three of his servants
had been struck down ; and had he not sent them away, upon the
advice of his physician, none of them would have recovered. He
is not alone in this respect ; many of the court were seized, and it
is a mercy the King escaped. The waters there are so black and
bitter they are as bad as the Styx. If one stays at home in the
town, the smoke from the chimnies, for they use turf instead of
wood, oppresses the nostrils. These turfs are cut from salt bogs,
and dried in the sun, and the exhalation from them penetrates
heart, breasf, nose ahd brains. ^'Audivi ab indigenis vestratcs

shower of rain turns the roads into mud; as to any farm or meadow

where they steep Hax, and the stench is intolerable. The whole
country is below the level of the sea two paces at high tide ; and
but for the dams, it would break in upon the inhabitants in the
midst of their feasting and pledgings. They say there is no other
way of escaping these inconveniences except by draining hogs**
heads ; a remedy, to my mind, worse than the disease. For you
know how soon on such occasions I eat the leek {herbam porrigo^
i.e. I knock up). Will return to England as soon as he is able.

Has received his Apology and answer to Faber. Approves of
the style in which it is written. Tunstal once met him in Italy,
and thought him a modest and learned man. Thinks he wished to
show off his knowledge of Greek, and took his measure of other men
by the meridian of Paris. Had he known how much more Greek
is studied and understood in Italy, Germany and Spain, he would
not have been in such a hurry to print. Compliments Erasmus on
his New Testament, and thinks he wastes time in noticing these
attacks. Is glad to find he is on good terms with the theologians
of Lou vain. Is delighted to hear that Strabo, Pindar and Pausanas
will shortly appear from the Aldine press. Bruges, 18 kal. Oct*

B. M. The truth is not written from Rome, as of the [coming] of

the Spaniards to Verona, the message of the Pope for forming
a treaty, and the marriage of the new Duke of Urbino with a
relative of [the French King]. The Spaniards have not stirred»
and another marriage alliance is yet in debate. The Pope is much
displeased at the new alliance between the King CathoHc and the
King of France ; — thinks the former has been sold by Chievres,.
and that he has been guilty of insincerity; — is informed that the
articles of the treaty have been submitted to the King and Wolsey ;
that the Emperor witholds his consent ; that Andreas de Burga
wrot6 to his brother to pay no regard to the rumor of an alliance
between the King Catholic and the King of France. One of the
articles allows the King Catholic to assist the Emperor against the
Venetians. He is angry that the Swiss, by persuasion of the
Bastard of Savoy, have joined the French, notwithstanding all his
elTorts ; and is persuaded the French only wait to crush him. He
has received a request from the King Catholic that Chievres may be
created a cardinal on his going into Spain, and also a secret message
from Tricarico that Wolsey was arranging anew treaty with France.
Hears from Lyons that Jerome Bonvix, who had been dismissed
from Rome, has now a good pension in England. Is surprised that
he or his scamp of a brother Lorenzo should be countenanced. The
Pope is still anxious for the reformation of the calendar. Has no
means at present of sending Wolsey's caps (pileosJ)

is not true that he has defamed Erasmus behind his back. Wrote

B. M. in cipher {infiguris contextas), by [command] of the Emperor, on

the business of the Imperial crown {Ro, i[0iperft]), and how the
Emperor remains firmly determined when the Kmg Catholic has

gone to Spain who, or rather his councillors, ^ idem . .

..... rium sibi et Catholico imperio provenire peteb ..... adeo

ut non auderet rem eandem cum regia maj estate in-

ferius concludere et convenire, statim autem eodem Bege

Catholico in Hispaniis existente reven[tiones] et oblata^ promis-
saque exsolverc; scrips! etiam quid [egis]set cum electoribus in

Frankfordia et quid ego q egi et reperii." Was going to

have sent his own cousin {cansobrinus) by commission of the
Emperor, but he fell sick at Tr[entj. Forwarded those letters,
therefore, at his own cost, to francis de Ta[xis], who was to
send them to England. Details his disputes with the Swiss and
Super Saxo about the robberies and offences committed in " patr • . .
Sedunensi," and the goods taken from him.

Is compelled to defend and recover the rights of his church with
the Swiss, instead of seeking justice at the court of Bome. For
the above reasons he has not been able to write so frequently to
Wolsey. Wolsey has either never received his letters, or forgotten
to answer them : perhaps in angry with him. Had it ever been
suggested that he and the Bp. of Yeroli, through the Cardinal
Medici, had sided with the French, Wolsey would have good cause
to be angry.

They are not like Yisconti, who has not only befouled evenrthing
with his treasons, but, under pretence of requiring aid for Verona,
stole 30,000 fl. A servant of his, who was with him in the expedi-
tion, has taken about 2.000. If the writer were of the French
par^ he would not be so scampish and needy as this. Has had
nothing from the King Catholic, or from the Emperor ; has been
ejected by the Pope ; and if he would only join the French, would
be adored by the Gallicising Swiss. The French offered, dirough
a certain person, to give him Supersaxo and his sons, but he did
not accept it. He is like Satan, and all he says is false. Triulcius,
Yisconti and Gambaro have obtained his recal from the [Pope],

9 HENRY VIII. 1168

1517.

and have substituted for him Antonio Pucci. Yeroli is unpaid and
open to French practices. A league with the French is in treaty
bj the French party among the Swiss^ and is concluded in many
cantons. Yeroli was got rid of because he saw through the designs
of the French too clearly. After the diet which will be held to-
morrow, will send his cousin to England, who will explain alL It
would be seasonable if Henry and the King Catholic would send
to the Swiss for intelligence, but the messenger should [not] come
without money, at least 20,000 crs. Genoa is in tumult, owing to
the pillage. Milan is in the same state, from the murder of a chief
man. The Pope has a strong force, 300 lances from the French
alone. If 10,000 [Swiss] could bo got with two months' pay,

*' statim et facile habere " and Cuma, in which Sion has

the Lord Montignj. On his joumej, at Bruges came a tall man
to him, named Thomas Stanley, bastard of Sir William Stanley,
chamberlain to Henry YIL, who said he had been kept in the
Tower of London fourteen years after his father's death, and, on
obtaining his liberty from Henry YIII., was compelled to leave
England, as no one would take him into service ; fell in wiUi
Richard De la Pole, and became his porter ; had twenty crowns a
year, but was never paid ; says that Sir G^rge NeviU has been
with De la Pole since Christmas last, and that, speaking to him of
his poverty, Nevill said that Pole remarked ** that such English-
men as had served him had always been true to him, and biden
with him as long as he had kept them bare, and when they had any
money in their purses they would not long tarry." Being dis-
heartened, he went to De la Pole, requesting his wages and dis-
missal. He promised to pay him : but two days after, as he was
in bed, Pole came into the room with his servants, and said,
** Thou false traitor ! thou hast been long a spy in my company ;
thou shalt, before thou depart, show who sent thee hither. And with
that, all they laid hands on him, and took a small cord with pricks,
and bound his great toes together, and strained the cord as hard
as they could,** bidding him confess. They strained the cord so
hard that it brake ; but as they were preparing another, he spied
the door open, and ran to a monastery of friars, demanding asylum.
Pole, being afraid of the slander, sent to him Deryke Rede, his
chief steward, begging him to return, and after Easter next his
wages should be paid : to which he agreed. Pole, when he paid
his servants their wages, and gave them liveries of grey and blue,
paid Stanley 20 sous, and bid him be gone. Says he has been
serving in Holland under Nassau, and been badly paid. Desires
a safeconduct to England. He will inform against De la Pole,
and show that what Latimer said wafi not true. He says that
Pole has a pension from France of 4,000 crowns. Had no English-
men with him except his chaplain Sir William, who can only get
his wages a crown at a time. Tnnstal bade him write to the King,
and encloses the paper. If the King allow him to come, desires
word may be sent to Jemingbam, Deputy of Tournay. He says
that two spies of Pole are living at Mechlin, one called Hans
Nagle, the other he did not know ; but he meant, says Tunstal,

B. M. {Some lines lost at the beginning). *' Plexis pres

Anssenys."

The King (of France) is sending to the King of Spain to take in
marriage (pour prendre) Madame Ren^e, but to no purpose, for the
Spaniards will not have the alliance. If the King were dead, and
Bojsiz and the Chancellor, it would be no loss. God knows the
convulsion that is stirred about the death of this Princess [Louise,
daughter of Louis XIL] ; and with reason, because it will break up
the alliance, and the Spaniards will never leave Naples. The Em-
peror sends for the electors, expressing a wish to resign the empire
in favor of one of his children {ses eiijfans) in Flanders. There is
no law to provide for such a case : the Pope might as well resign
his tiara to the Cardinals. Francis plies them with bribes. ** II y
a embassadeurs vers Icdict Empereur qui est subtil et prevoit beau-
coup plus que nont faict les Angloys, qui se hastent trop, de quoj
peult estre en graterout leurs testes : co qui est differ^ n'est point
perdu." The Romans never had any alliance with King Pyrrhus
because he was changeable. Sends his correspondent a little book
printed by the King, — the remonstrances of the Trois Estatz made

to Charles VIII., " ensemble les dolleances tez dom-

magez et destruyement, que peult avoir le royaulmc [dej France k
cause de la cassation et abolition de la Pragmati[que San]cion
et du Concordat du Pappe et du Roy, par lequ[el on cjognoist

tout lestat de France." One

of the masters of requests is here on the part of the King to in-
vestigate the matter, and has brought with him a speech made in
parliament by the advocate Bouchart. The King has ordered
them to be [brought up] before him for sentence ; " maiz ta* d*
ceste fille es qui sera pour moderer la fureur dudict seig-
neur, car que on a apaisc les Angloys." He has not

one that wishes him well, for he has sent in all directions to levy
new exactions, even on the Church itself ; and the nobility must
pay ten crowns for every acre, and there is still a tenth to pay.
There is here in Britanny 600 men of arms, who devour the poor
Bretons, making those pay the gabelle who never paid before.
The Normans refused to levy the new [tenths ?]. The King does
well to seek the alliance of foreigners, as he cannot trust his own
people. 28 Sept.

B. M. . • . quil soit a moy." The King is leaving Morlaix for Ancenys,

at the entrance of Britanny. The Bretons are in a state of in-
surrection at the imposts, and threaten to kill the gensdarmes.
The avocats of Paris who are at Orleans, and those of the Univer-
sity, are summoned touching the Pragmatic Sanction. Bouchart
has done excellently. It is expected the Pope and King will be
at war. There is a conspiracy among the avocats. They would
not have spoken so loudly against the Pope had they not been
backed up by some secret influence. Search is made for a fat Cor-
delier, who has declared in his sermon that the King is worse than
Nero. They insist on those who farm their own lands paying the
" taille aux gentilzhommez." 28 Sept.

B.2f, sight of land, which proved to be the coast of Hasturjes (Asturias)

and Galicjf^ though the pilots thought thej were off Biscaj.
Found the country " all barren, unpurvejed of horses and other
necessaries for the King (Charles) and his company." Never-
theless his grace landed at 4 o'clock, p. m., within a mile of Villa
Yiciosa, accompanied bj the Great Master and Don Diego, and a
certain appointed number, among whom was the writer. Xlie
whole company proceeded to the town on foot. The King and the
Lady Eleanor, his sister, were received with great joy and re-
verence by Don Francisque de Beamon, the governor, who had
gone thither on account of the sickness that prevailed in divers
places. The town had not more than forty houses. '' The next
day the Prior of St. John's, the Bp. of Corduba and some other,
with the King's levy, came thither; and because the wind turned
to the N.N.W., the Lord Beures, admiral, was commanded for the
salvacion of the mean (men ?), ships and goods, to depart imme-
diately, and go to St. Ander, in Biscay. Wherefore, for so hasty
departing, the Lord Chycvers and many other principals had no
leisure to have their beds to land, and for the first night a great
part of them slepe upon straw and banks. Also the time did not
suffer that all the horses brought over might be discharged, and
having the King and the Lord Chyevers lostcd theirs in the ship
that was burnt, the Governor of Bresse leved his heynde (left his
behind ?). The Count of Porseyn. the Lord Sampy, Walaym and
divers other, sent theirs by land. Your highness may consider
how the company was ready to set forward." For 200 persons,
lords, gentlemen and gentlewomen, there were not forty horses :
nor could any be procured, because (1) in that mountainous
country *' the principals goeth a foot ; " and (2) the chief places
were infected with the sickness, *' where was defended upon
pain of death the haunting on other side. The lack of victuals did
compel the King to depart, and so the third day after his landing
he took his journey toward St. Ander, and rode four days upon a
hobby, the which I gave unto his grace for fault of better. The
most part of his company went afoot, and of the residue the
greater number rode upon pack horses; and as for the gentle-
women, many of them in carrettes, with oxen. Nevertheless,
considering the surety and sweetness of the land, every man
suffered it joyously in patience. The King arrived into this town
of St.Ursent (St. Vincent), sixty English miles from Villa Viciosa.
Some knights and noblemen of the country, which begin to amend
a little, have brought horses and mules unto his grace ; amd many
been come from St. Ander, of those passed with &e ships, in such
manner that from henceforth the company shall be better apparelled
than it hath been heretofore."

The country is very mountainous, and abounds in ^'chestones"

^ (chestnuts), on which most of the inhabitants live, instead of com.

They have also a kind of oats to make bread of for the nobles and
gentlemen, " thoo that the worst of them reckon to be the best
born ; and marvellously they be ground upon the noblesse of blood,
seeing they have been those that have conquered Castile out of the

bunds of the Infidels, liaving, by reason of sucb opinion, proudness
cnougb in comparison of tbeir goods and ricbcs ; tbeir arrajments
been small jackets of coarse light cloths, with bai*e legs and feet ;
and commonly they wear long beards and hair, being well made
persons, and wonderly light ; and as f ai* as I may conjcct upon
good information, they may be compared unto the Irishmen." The
country abounds with wild boars, bears, wolves and leopards. The
towns by the seaside depend entirely on the fishing off the coast
of Ireland. The whole realm of Castile is divided between ^' two
partialities depending of the Yelaskes and Maurykes, whereof the
Constable of Castile and the Duke of Nagger been the chief.**
Towards the crown, however, " there is no variance amongst
them."

The chief of every .town and parish met the King upon his
journey, with as many men as they could make, offering their
services against the French and the Infidels. Many of them that
had been ** in the wars of Naples and Navarro showed very good
countenances of men of war ; and because they use for the most
part cross bows and darts, with grcAt paves," the King has ordered
divers captains in the Ilasturyes to be ready at eight days* warn-
ing, to bring him 10,000 men; and the latter have promised to
accustom their men to mon'ispikes and handguns, to be provided
by the King. News is expected daily from the Cardinal of
Toledo (Ximenes). As yet the whole realm is in good peace. The
King has commanded all the lords to stay at home till sent for,
all his " stuff and apparel " being at St. Ander, and the country being
too barren to support any large Jissembly. Yesterday int(;lligence
of the Catholic King's arrival was sent to the King of Portugal.

Encloses copies of ** the instructions and ordinance made in
Zealand for the King's navigation," and of a letter in Latin " written
by a learned man " upon the subject ; also four pieces of silver called
" ryallez " and " halfe rj'allez," as specimens of the new coinage
struck at Antwerp, of which the King has brought with him
40,000 ducats, which he began to issue in payment of his ex
pences the day after his landing. "And so hereafter,.! am in-
formed, during the King's mother's life it shall be continued, and
the crown of gold accordingly." On the third day after the King's
landing Lady Chievros was appointed to bo " lady mistress, with
the Lady Eleanor, the King's sister," and to fill the office which
she formerly held with Doiia Anna de Ileaumont, who was called
Dame d'honneur in France ; ** who for the recompence of their long
service, shall have during her life 1,500 ducats, well assigned.''

The comendador mayor of Calatraba, governor of Don Fernando,
and the Bishop of Astorga, his schoolmaster, have l>een removed
from office by the Cardinal, with the King's consent, having, it is said,
attempted to make Don Fernando King of Arragon, against reason
and the will of the Catholic King deceased. It is also said they
had some intelligence with the Frenchmen in the matter. "The
Cardinal gave the charge of their will about Don Fernando unto
the Marquis of Aguler, who I suppose to be of your highness'
acquaintance, and, as I am informed, as soon as the King met with
his brother, Don Dego shall have such room. The admiral of
Spain hath sent twelve fair mulcts and two mules unto the Lord
Chyevers, the which is a fair present, esteemed with the apparel
2,(K)0 ducats or above.

" The Lord Chiecres is in as good favor as ever he was, and like *
to continue, for his wisdom ^ and for the great variances that been
amongst the lords of Spain.

6 Oct. 3723. Extracts from the Bp. of Helna's letters.

£;gert 616, No. 43. Delivered Charles's letter to the King of England, and declared

B. M. his instructions. The King replied that he had as much care for

the dominions of Charles as for his own, and was bound to defend
them when necessary. He wishes Charles to send ambassadors
that he may show this more openly, and promises nothing shall be
• done except to Charles's advantage. This he seemed to say with
great good will. He further said France was using every efibrt
for a league with England, but Charles might rest assured he
(Henry) would never join any prince to his detriment. Helna said
Charles would not be uneasy at his making peace with France if
it were not to the detriment of Spain ; at which the King was
much pleased. It seemed as if he wiidied to make peace with
France.

Heard two things from the Cardinal : 1. that if Charles had
wished #to negotiate to have Toumay, England would not have
objected ; and if Helna had had powers to treat he believed it
would have been brought to a good issue, — at least he would have
thrown difficulties in the way of the French ; but the Cardinal did
not believe Charles wished to have Toumay. 2. If Toumay is to
be delivered to the French, Wols^ will see that it is not to the
disadvantage of Charles, although Charles has much to do with the
French contrary to the wish of England Wolsey told him at the
same time, though not distinctly, that England would come to an
agreement with France, and would send as ambassadors the Cham-
berlain and another to meet the French at Boulogne or Calais^ and
that before anything was concluded he would inform Charles of
the offers of the French and the answer of England. Hears the
French make great efforts to recover Toumay. Suspects that the
King of England supports with ill will ** los hastos " that he has
made in Toumay, and that if Charles would bear part of the expence
England would be glad to keep it ; if Charles would give a sum,
even though not so large as the French offer, Heniy would give it
up to him, and that these offers were made to him by an Englishman,
as if from himself, but he suspects they come from a good quarter.

The departure from thence (England) of the Papal ambassadors,
21 October. The King of England is quite determined on peace
with the French. The King and Wolsey have told him that they
will not listen to other conditions but the old ones. The King of
England is endeavoring to bring the French ambassadors, now at
Boulogne or Calais, over to England. Many say that the French
will not pass over, but that the English will cross to Calauu Thinks

Emperor promises the King the imperial crown as formerly, and
wishes to return into Flanders for that purpose. He excuses his
late sudden departure thence, because, if he had remained, the
Catholic King would not have left. He twice expressly com-
manded Sion to signify these things to the King and Wolsey.
They lied impudently who reported that Sion accepted French pay.

Ginst Dcfp. II. 132. Obtained an interview of the Cardinal with difficulty. Commu-

usual with a troubled countenance. Communicated him their letter
of apology respecting Hadrian. He replied, " I do not doubt but
that the Signory did not write with the intention of offending me,
and believe, as you say, that the circumstances were not understood
at Venice : still you cannot acquit yourself of having done evil
against me, contraiy to your debt of gratitude, considering the
love I bore you : and in truth, I should have expected such an
injury from any other person in the world rather than from you.
He proceeded thus with such wrath and violence, and so much
threatening and bitter language, that I could not repeat one half of
it. In fact he hemmed me in on every side, and great need had
I for patience to tolerate what ho said to me." After awhile
Giustinian overcame his arrogance, and he said : " I regretted that
a man of your ability and worth should be deceived by a ribald,
and for the future I shall bo more yours and the Signory *s likewise
than ever." He also warned Venice to beware of Hadrian, as he
communicated with the. Emperor, and had ^ always acted with him
against the Signory. The Imperial and Spanish ambassadors are
often with Wolsey, who said, that he and the King of France had
been the cause of the Pope getting the better of the Duke of
Urbino. On taking leave he sdlowed Sebastian to kiss his hand,

of Winchester, pulled Cokes aside and said to him in like manner.
Also my bedfellow Matthew Hall was in the company of Master
Hussaye,** who asked of Pawne's return : for he had heard he shoold

B. M. notice out of Flanders and France that the French use eveiy

effort with the King of England to recover Toumaj, and that the
matter is almost settled. T)i& King of Castile would, therefore,
gladly have the conclusion deferred till affairs are established,
when, according to Lord Chievres, the King himself will make
an overture for Toumay, but thinks it would be useless at present,
and inconvenient, considering the peace with France. Tliey be-
lieve that the King of England will do Nothing prejudicial to the
amity between himself and Castile. Chievres is of opinion, that
by the strong castle of Toumay the French will compel and keep
the city in subjection, and make war upon their neighbors, and

De Frnctu, p. 12. Speaks of Colet's love of letters, his school at St. Paul's, and the

headmaster there. All are interested in his success. Pace especially.
Dedicates to Colet his book De Frnctu qui ex Doetrina pereipitur^
as a token of it. Two years ago, when he returned from Borne to
. England, was present at an entertainment when the subject of
schools was discussed. A gentleman in the company, in hunting
gear, — one of those, " qui semper cornu aliquod a tergo pendens ges-
tan#, ac si etiam inter prandendum venarentur,"— abused all learning
as leading only to poverty, and instanced Erasmus : ^' By the body
of God, 1 would sooner see my son hanged than a bookworm, it
is a gentleman's calling to be able to blow the horn, to hunt and
hawk. He should leave learning to clodhoppers." Pace took up
the argument ; — showed how this prejudice excluded the sons of
noblemen and gentlemen from employment in the state, and that
learning was better than ignorance and noble blood. Is uncertain
of his movements. Constance.

Proposed the exchange of pirates, and arrangements on this subject
for the future. Were answered that these points had been pro-
vided for already in the amity concluded between the two king-

Haynes and his son that neither can be much hurt It was deter-
mined, however, that they should remain at Oxford, on condition
of their satisfying the injured, and their good behavior ; notwith-
standing which Haynes has, without provocation, left Oxford.
They have not yet been able to ascertain, as Wolsey desired,
whether William Baker and Thomas Buklond were the authors of
the fire which happened there. They have, however, expelled
them. Buklond, who had been thrown into prison for another
offence, has escaped, and fled with Baker. Oxford, postridie

5 Nov. 3773. More to Erasmus.

Er. Ep. III. 8. Received his letters for Colet and Fisher, with a book for the

latter. Wonders he had not written to the Archbishop himself,
for he has more influence with Warham than anj one else has.
Will do it if Erasmus thinks More can do more in person than
Erasmus can b)r letter. But he will have to wait, as it is usual
for an ambassador, on his return, to visit the King first, and not
even casually call upon any one else. Business idso, at Calais,
proceeds so slowly that More is afraid he will have to stay a long
time. WiU manage that Erasmus' pension be paid by Maruffo.
Does not think it advisable to redeem it, as it might offend the
Archbishop. Is glad his Paraphrase is in the press. Pace has
not yet returned, nor does More know when he will. Cannot
think what business he has. As far as More can hear, he has none
with the Swiss or the Emperor ; and has been now more than a
year at Constance. Is glad Erasmus liked the verses on the pic-
ture. A friar criticized them because More had compared the two
friends to Castor and Pollux. Calais, 5 Nov.

King Catholic, and advanced to his present bishopric. Was for

in the education of Katharine and her other children. With a
little change these words might be applied to the occasion : *^ Senex

Yit B.ni. ISO. On the 3 Nov. received his agreeable letters, dated the 18th

B. H. Oct., with Wolsey's excuses for writing so seldom, and his promise

to write oftener hereafter. The state of affairs requires more
frequent correspondence on both sides. Is sorry to hear of the
sweating sickness having been so bad in England, and Wolsey's
danger. Is glad the royal family have escaped. The Pope has
only put off the deprivation of Cardinal Hadrian to follow the
course of justice. When the 40 days are at an end, during which the
Pope is absent for the sake of his health, process cannot long be
delayed ; and as the Pope has told him, he considers Hadrian
deserving of this deprivation, not merely for the reasons stated in
the King's letter, but for his many crimes. He has acted always so
faithlessly that every one desires his fall. The Pope says noUiing
shall change his mind. At last he speaks positively, and Worcester
is inclined to believe him ; but if it prove otherwise Worcester
must not be blamed. Has done all he could in the matter, and
reported the Pope's words exactly, as the Pope himself desired
him. But in this court, as in others, nothing can be effected
without gifts ; and Worcester will distribute a few, as sparingly as
he can. The Pope is most grateful to Wolsey for letting him know
of the French embassy coming to England, and promising that
nothing shall be negociated against the interests of the Holy See.
As to the pension Wolsey has promised him, Worcester will depend
upon his bounty. Has received the original deed of endowment of
the King's house, and will use it when occasion offers. Thanks
Wolsey for the protection granted to his cousin John Campucci.

ambassadors of all princes, and, in presence of the Cardinals, with
tears in his eyes, related this unhappy news, conjuring them by the
mercy of God to beseech their sovereigns to come to some speedy
determination for the protection of Christendom. It is thought the

tyrant will first attack Hungary and Poland. It is needful to have
a good fleet to turn the war into his own country. If he be not
resisted now the danger to Christendom is manifest. All the
ambassadors, except Worcester and the Emperor's, have commissions
from their princes ; the latter expects one. Worcester excused the
King not having sent one, by reason of the sweating sickness, and
declared openly that Heniy had frequently shown his zeal for the
defence of Christendom, as the Pope could testify. The French
ambassador said he had been very urgent with the Pope for a
universal peace. Worcester replied, that the object was a very-
desirable one, but it was important that it should be sincwe and
unfeigned, and not a pretext for injury, and that if all were as -well
disposed to it as England the expedition could be easily acoom-
plished.

Complained to his holiness that he had deferred giving Wolsey
the licence for the bull of Toumay. He must be content to wait a
month longer. As to Peter Vannes, Wolsey's devoted servant^
would gladly assist him, as requested, for three reasons ; — because
Wolsey wishes it, out of regard for Andreas Anmionius, and because
Yannes deserves it ; but is so much in debt on account of the col-
lectorship conferred on him, that he can only give him a small
assistance. Will remember him at some more convenient time.

collectorship, and for not favoring his opponents. Bome, 8 Nov.

The Bp. of Paris and De la Guiche have arrived as ambassadors

fear of the plague. " I endeavoured to learn the cause of their
coming, but the Reverend Bishop of Ely having made his appear-
ance, I had no opportunity. It is said that they have come about
certain reprisals, but I do not believe that envoys of such dignity
would have been sent on so trivial an errand, especially as the afore-
said Bishop of Ely and the Lord Chamberlain, who had been
appointed as envoys to France, will now not go there." The King
is abroad, and moves from place to place on account of the plague,
which makes great ravages in the royal Household. Some of the

coals,** &c. within the King's price, that the difference should be
shared by Lovekyn,^Haull and himself. There must be some profit,
" else ye could not send to London, at Christmas last, into Lombard

ton, 400/. sterling, 200/. in groats and 200/. in pence, and plate

diaper, tapestry, &c. worth 1,000 marks. When last at London
'^my departing homewards to Toumay was right poor without
penny or ob. (halfpenny), and that I may thank you:" for had it
not been for Lovekyn's advice, his master on leaving Toumay
would have paid him his duty. Though the money he had spent to
have Lovekyn's love is little regarded, " when that your servants
should threat mo for your sake, if they take me to England to
cut my flesh, I trust to have such mastership that their vaunce-
ment and their dealing shall be better known." Has prepared

It is not so. "Let my master remember what money he hath
gained by the coals ; — and look you upon your book what shovels,
spades, and ashen poles was delivered betwixt February and M^
in anno decimo while you and my master was in England." Is
ready to prove before the Lord Cardinal that 2,000/. or 3,000/ of the
King's money have been abstracted, and will call them to a reck-
oning before him. His master brought Jaco to the Deputy, and said
that 298/. 2s. was owing for lime. If his master had paid him
the debt owing, would never have said a word. Adrian Carlele's

B. M. ratification of the truce, and has delivered him the ratification,

dated in the month of Aug., which he sends. Regrets much that
the counsels of the King Catholic in Spain do not take the form he
desires, and that Chievres is omnipotent there, as he was in
Flanders. Requests, therefore, that his ratification may be kept
secret for the present. Though the Pope is urged by constant
offers to complete the match of the Duke of Urbino with a relative
of France, he will stick to his resolution, and not throw himself
into their hands : but as he is anxious to see the Duke settled, he
has sent to the King Catholic, whose afiinity he would prefer, to
see if any marriage alliance can be devised. Has urged the Pope
to allow the bull of Tournay to be published, as justice requires.
He begs a little time. Dominus de Scuth, the French ambassador,
has left for France with letters relative to the Turkish matters.

They told Sebastian they had been very well received. The
question of reprisals is settled. They said they had urged the
surrender of Tournay, and that the King appeared inclined to their
conditions. They would not tell him on what terms ; but if it did
not take effect, it would occasion no dissension. " On my asking
whether the King of England had made any mention of the Duke
of Albany, the Bp. of Paris replied, smiling : You know all. It
is true his majesty was very anxious to prevent the return of the
Duke, who is now in France, but he had answered him that the
Duke of Albany was next in succession, should the present young
King die without heirs ; and that the Scots insisted on his being
Regent, and that this had not been effected by force, but volun-

him again on Monday last, as he walked in the park at Hampton
Court, at which he was not pleased. The Sunday before, deli-
vered the letter which Ralph Leech brought, but can get no
answer to either. Suitors to him must wait his pleasure. " He
that shall do so is needful to be a wiser man than I am." Seeing
no remedy, came without answer to London to execute the Earl's
commands. Lord Dacre's servant came with letters for the King
five months ago, and can get no answer, and another servant of
the [Deputy] of Calais came before the Cardinal rode to Wal*

3812. [WoLSEY to the Bishop of Worcester.]

Yit.B.m. 146. The King and he have learned from [Worcester's] last letters

B. M. that the success of the Turks against the Soldan is but too true,

and are more than ever convinced of the necessity of a universal
peace, to which he will yield, notwithstanding the insults he has
received from France in defrauding his eldest sister of her rights,
in promising peace and fomenting war in Scotland, whither they
have sent the Duke of Albany, by whom his majesty's other sister
has been deprived of the guardianship of her children ; notwith-
standing also England's obvious advanti^es, and the determination of
the Emperor to break with France. On condition that the truce
lately made with France be strictly observed, and justice be done
the King's sister, [Worcester] is to use his best endeavor to bring
the Pope to require peace between the two kingdoms. To avoid
future hostilities in Italy it will be desirable &at a new peace
should be formed between the Pope, the Kings of France and
England, the Venetians and the Swiss, for defence and offence
against idl powers. Shows the advantages to all concerned. He is
not to make these proposals to the Pope till he has induced him to
confer about the peace and bound him to silence. The matter
must be managed with great dexterity, for reasons Wolsey cannot
write. No one is privy to this matter except himself.

3818. [The Bishop op Worcester to Wolsey.]

R. O. '^ sincere et ordine suo, per eos ad quos spectant^ ita tractentur, et

disponantur," that regard should be had to the honor of each
prince, for which matter the Pope thinks that great vigilance must
be used, and writes to your holiness to use the utmost care.
Although there has been a contract of marriage between the Duke
Lorenzo and the French, as he had written before, he told the Pope
what was doing in S^n, according to Wolsey's letter ; and said it
would be more popular if the Duke had been contracted in Spain
than elsewhere. The Pope allowed it, but said he could not defer
the marriage any longer, especially as he received from Spain
nothing but words ; and he enjoined Worcester to write to England,'
and say that he would do nothing to the King's prejudice.

" perniciosissimum illud cum Gallis matrimonium contrazerit,
cum semper ex sententia sua viles aliquas conditiones obtulerit et
omnem penitus spem s™^ d. n. de rebus Hispanis abstulit."

News has come that the French use all sorts of devices to gain
the Swiss. Men are afraid of the result, as no other powers care to

engage them ; and although the King has done his part before,
thej think it desirable, for the sake of general tranquility, he
should again retain them, and supply the defects in the adminis-
tration of the Catholic King.

Continuallj warns the Pope not to form any alliance with the
French King, as it may be prejudicial to other princes. Thinks, as
the Duke of IJrbino has gone to France, the French will make use
of every device to trouble the Pope; and that, on account of the
influence of the Duke, who will shortly return, he will be compelled
to comply with their demand. He wishes the Duke to return here
with his wife in two months. Thinks, however, they will be
detained in France. He has, at the instance of the King of France,
secretly promised the legateship to Cardinal de Busi, brother of the
Grand Master. The Pope pretends he must concede it on account
of the Turkish expedition.

3816. Expedition against the Turks.

Vit B. HI. 250. Leo X., the Sacred College and the ambassadors of various

B. M princes, have met at Rome to consult about the necessities of the

present time. The Turks h^ve not only overrun ^tolia, Pelo-
])onnesus, Achaia, A[tiica and] all Greece, Thessaly, Magnesia,
Mucedonia, Euboea, Messia, Thrace, the Western Em-
pire " qu ..... . sedcm Constantinopolim," but have penetrated

within a short distance of Home. They have conquered the Persian
King, killed two Sultans of Egypt, and possessed themselves
of Assyria, Arabia, Egypt, Bugia, Tunis, Tremezium, and other
kingdoms of Africa, and intend to make war on the West, think-
ing no one can oppose them. They have 200 gallies, and are
daily building more. The Emperor Maximilian has been consulted,
but his councillors say that preparations cannot be made for so
great an expedition in time for the coming summer. It is thought
that the Turk will not abstain from invasion, and something must
be done against him, by resisting at once the Kings of Africa, the
Scythians and Tartars, &c.

The imperial councillors propose: 1. That every fiftieth person,
spiritual or temporal, shall becumo a soldier, the other forty-nine
to pay him annual wages as a foot soldier. A horse soldier to be
considered equivalent to two foot soldiers. The pay to be settled
by the Pope ; e.g. for an armed and drilled horseman 6 ducats of
gold, for a light armed soldier 4 or 5 ducats, for infantry 3 ducats,
a month ; so that from each family about one flor. Rhen. would
be paid. All spiritual persons, except those Orders who have no
revenue, to pay a tenth ; secular persons to pay a twentieth. All
spiritual and secular persons, and single women who have no income,
'^sed quacumque numeratse pecuniie su ••.•••• conditione

men in service to pay each year. . . . Rhenish [fl.] The Pope to
proclaim the crusade. All who join at their own expense to be
exempted from these imposts. Conunissioners to be appointed by
every prince to receive and administer the money. Engines of
war to be collected from every quarter. The commissioners to
supply the necessary food. A general truce to be made for three
years among all Christian princes. In the coming year, 1518, care
must be taken to make the above contributions, and quiet all dis-
sensions, under pain of papal censure and the Emperor's displeasure.
Those who refuse, to be looked upon as enemies to Christendom,
and treated accordingly. The King of France is appointed to

towards the norih-west, and the Pope towards the south-west.
It will be advisable for the two Kings mentioned to remain at home
during the first expedition. The Sophy of Persia is to be incited
f to make war on the Turk, lest he invade Europe during the prepa-
rations. As he will probably be weary of war, having been
deserted by the Sultan [of Egypt], and [defeated] with nearly his
whole army, " potiusque hoc tempore quietem et otium optet quam

be in Africa, quam etiam nuper magna ex parte tyrannus

Thus an easy means of stirring up the Persian King against the
common enemy will be found.

It will be proper to send an army into Africa this summer to
encourage the Kings of Tremczin, Fez and Morocco, and the Arabs
in the Libyan mountains, who have not submitted to the Turks.
Of this expedition the Emperor and the King of Portugal are to
be leaders, with the power of the King Catholic and other princes,
except those deputed to assist Poland. Part of the al>ove-mentioned
exactions are to be employed for this cause. The Pope will send
ambassadors to the said African nations. Another expedition can
be made the same year by the King of Poland, '* suo nomine, et uti

tutore sere domini Ludovici," with the forces of Poland,

Hungary, Bohemia, Slesia and the other nations

subject to him. The Emperor and the Duke of Bavaria will assist
him with artillery, &c. The Pope will endeavor to induce the

Scythians and Tartars who border on the Russians (Ru-

thani) and Moldavians, to join as mercenuries. With the assistance
of the Scythians, Moldavians and Wallachians, he will perhaps be
able to take Chilia, and leave a garrison there for the winter.

In the second year of the expedition, 1519. Maximilian and the
King of Portugal will prosecute the campaign in Africa, and
penetrate beyond Alcayro and Alexandria, and will easily get to-
jrether 100,()00 men from the African nations. This year the
Kings of England and Denmark, and the Great Master of Prussia,
with a body of Russian (Rutheni) archers, will be able to join them.
The King of France will also send an army through Italy, Illyria,
Croatia and Dalmatia, to the depot of the Turks called Oberbossna.
The King of Poland will repeat his invasion of the preceding year,
and join the French King at Oberbossna, and together they will
attack Philippopolis and Adria[noplc], and, if successful, garrison
them with Tartars, &c., who can support themselves by plundering
the neighbourhood. If they can seize Chalcedon or Negropont, or
any seaport, in the third year, they can easily be joined by the other
forces in Africa.

The third year, 1620, the [Emperor] and the King of Portugal,
having freed Africa, will cross to Greece, and, taking Constantinople,
invade Asia Minor and Natolia, when they will doubtless be assisted
by the Sophy. They would cede to him half Natolia and the whole
of Chara. The Christians are to retain the rest of Asia and Africa,
and especially and Jerusalem. After these successes the

draw away from the King. The King supports the Pope. The
Kiug will adhere to the Pragmatic Sanction, the Parliament to
their " arrest." There is a great struggle between the King and
courts. After Lent, when the Queen shall have laid in, the King
will go to P[aris]. He is levying great sums of money : has gained
more money by pardons of the crusade than by all his exactions.
Pc>ople are compelled to listen to these heretic preachers, and
murmur everywhere. They preach that whoever puts in their
money box ten sous Tournois will go to paradise ; for ten sous
each, sins shall be forgiven and souls escape purgatory. They are
opposed by the University and doctors of theology, but too late, as
the money has been collected. They will not use the money against
the Saracens, but against England. Thinks these indulgences
ruinous to princes and their poor subjects. The King is raising
a navy ; four ships are building in Normandy. This is the time
of all others to strike a blow at France. The King is hated, the
people everywhere mutinous. The soldiers are dissatisfied. The
troops cannot be withdrawn from Italy. The King says you are

but you. It is to please the people he pills them to the bone.

^•^ [Cardinal Sta Maria in Porticu] at Paris, on 6 Dec. 1517, at the

meeting of the marshals, captains, presidents of parliament, &c.
after dinner in a great hall erected for the purpose.

The King touched upon his great inclination for the union of all
Christendom, his ardent desire to free the Holy Land, his own per-
sonal obligations to the Pope, and their particular affinity ; ** ei pro-
metteva in queste cose [contrail! Turco 40,000 fanti, de quali ser-
riano 20,000 tra Suizeri et lanz[keneti] ; altre 20,000 tra Liglesi,
Guasconiet Francesi, 3,000 homini dar[me] . . . . et 1,000 Italiani,
6,000 cavalli leggier!. Crede el legato computando li 2 arcieri per
uno huomo darme quella banda d'artiglieria che convenissi ad tale
exercito." Frances offered to serve in person, and put himself and
his kingdom entirely at the disposition of the Pope. The legate
thanked him, and requested him to put it in writing, to be submitted
to the Pope and Cardinals as an example to others to do the like.
Francis replied he would readily put his answer in writing, as he
had already vowed it in his soul to his Redeemer, and now in words
to his vicegerent on earth, and he was desirous that processions
and masses should take place to secure the favor of God. The
legate exhorted him on^the part of the Pope to succour Hungary.

10 Dea 3828. [The Bp. of Worcester] to [Wolsey.]

Tit B. III. 190. The Pope has been waiting for his letters to know what the

B. M« French ambassadors are doing in England. He is afraid of the

union of the two powers ; has heard that the afiair of Toumay has
been compounded for 50,000 scudi ; and that England demands the
guardianship of Scotland until the King be of age. Worcester
told him that the epidemic prevented Wolsey from writing. The
Pope is still doubtful about the marriage of the Duke Lorenzo
with a sister of the wife of the Duke of Albany. He is afraid he
will be obliged to comply, as there is no hope from Spain. Chierres
has procured the bishopric of Toledo for his nephew, and leans
entirely to the French. When the Catholic King would have
written letters with his own hand dissuading Henry from all alli-
ance with France, Chievres betrayed it to the French.

Has urged the Pope to perform what he has promised the King
in reference to the deprivation of Cardinal Hadrian. He is dilatory
as usual. A bull has been issued, citing Hadrian personally to
appear within 50 days, but he could not induce the Pope to have
it published. He says he will have it done in ten days. He
ordered Worcester to teU the King that he would proceed to the
deprivation, but he must not wonder at the delay, " quia non desant,
qui bibalia petant." Some have bestirred themselves in his behalf,
and have offered in his name that he shall resign the bishopric of
Bath and Wells to Wolsey, with a pension of 3,000 ducats, if he
will prevent the sentence of deprivation. Told the Pope he did
not think the terms would be accepted : the sentence was urged
from justice and not avarice. Had the King wished, he might
have impounded the revenues of the see by reason of a debt that
he owed to Henry VII., but the King will not permit any Biahop
in his realm to conspire against the universal Head of the Church.

1^ O. ** Copia literarum r™* d. Legati ad Hispaniarum Regem, ex

Cassarea Augusta scriptarum xxviij. Novembris."

Letters have arrived showing the increase of the power of the
Turks. Their fleet will winter at Aulona. The people here (hi),
struck with the magnitude of the danger, have deliberated for a
whole week, day and night, in their great council, at which his
Catholic majesty has been constantly present, and has behaved in
such a way as would scarcely have been expected from one of his
years. He undertakes by March ensuing to have ready 10,000
Spaniards and 6,000 Swiss, or 6,000 lanzknechts and a fleet, and
to serve in person. Ho wishes the Pope to impress on every Chris-
tian prince the importance of this matter. Other princes with
his example cannot hold back. Great hopes rest upon Wolsey,
" vestraque diligentia."

ii. " Copia literarum r™' d. Legati ad Chr"**»™ Begem scrip-
tarum xiiij. Decembris, Parisius.**

Had urged the King strongly for an audience on the Turkish
matters. Used all his eloquence to persuade him to an expedition
against the Turks, as the Popo anxiously desires. He expressed
his great willingness to comply, and to assist in recovering the
Holy Land ; ho would never fail, as he is the eldest son of the
Church, in paying obedience to the Holy See ; ho promised 40,000
foot for the expedition, 20,000 Swiss, English and lanzknechts, with
cavalry and munitions. The writer begged that he might have
his answer in writing to lay before the Pope and the Consistory;
to which the King assented, and determined on a public solemnity
for victory over the Infidels. He undertook, moreover, to send
assistance to the Hungarians, and an ambassador to their King.
When the conference was over, the King took him by the hand,
and entered into familiar conversation with him, confirming all
that had been said ; and upon the writer stating he thought the
forces promised were more than needful, Francis replied that in all
preparations for war that was the most expedite way of bringing it
to a conclusion, and it would be a more potent example to other
))rinces ; that he did not require any money for defending the
Church, but if he had to attack an enemy out of Italy he would
then require two tenths, and crusade pence on both sides the moun-
tains ; and would find no difficulty in raising the sums required,

Erasmus; e.g. Julii Genius, Dc Pueris Erudiendis, Sfc. He affirms
he has nothing else. Linacrc will send his translations of Galen
to Paris to be printed under the care of Lupset, and is very much
pleased at the notice of his books by Erasmus. Lately, in a large
concourse of people, the Bishop of Winchester (Fox) affirmed that
Erasmus' version of the New Testament was worth more to him than
ten commentaries. Expects his Utopia. London, 16 Dec. 1617.

Has sent his letter to Latimer. '* My wife desires a million of
compliments, especially for your careful wish that she should live
many years. She says she is the more anxious for this as she will

peror, who has heard with favor the proposed treaty between Frwce
and England. Hopes Wolsey will have an opportunity of con-
vincing himself viva voce that the Emperor was prevented by stress
of circumstances from complying with the King's wishes. The
Emperor has been invited by the Pope to join the expedition
against the Turks, and is extremely inclined to do so. When he
crosses into Africa he will have to pass through that country.
The King has many friends in the imperial court, especiallj
Nicholas Zigler and Lewis Maraton. The other occurrences
Wolsey will hear from the ambassador of the King Catholic;

Wexford at Shrovetide last past. He was desired to repair thither
by the Chancellor to punish one Sir Richard Brown for obtaining a
provision against the incumbent of the house of Selskir in WeyfTord.
Had issued to him several writs of subpoena, which he disobeyed.
Had also in view to reform the enormities and variances between
the Earl's tenants and the Irish. It is true he lay in Weifford two
days, and paid for every pennyworth he or his company took.
Left part of his company four or five days while he went to
Waterford, but not so many as reported. Wherever the Deputy
goes for the common weal it is usual for his horsemen and gallo-
glasses to have their food in those parts, except at great hostings ;
otherwise he could not support them, were the King's revenues six
times as large. Though his own tenants are thus charged, he
seldom troubles the Earl's, except when he comes for their own
good, generally for their defence against the Irish. Has no wish,
personally, to come among them ; " they be the most inordinate and
sensual people that I know in all this country, insomuch as unneath
there is any perfect love or amity between them." They make
confederacies with the Irish to be revenged on each other. It is
not true that he impanelled inquests within the Earl's liberties.
His commissioners sat '^ in a place of the cross called Ballyhak "
out of the Earl's precinct, where the King's commissioners always
used to sit, although they have authority to sit within the Earl's
liberties. There was only one prisoner he took out of jail, a

B. O. When starting for Castile, wrote to her in conjunction with

Ochoa de Sauzedo, who said he was going to England, stating that
he had been made Treasurer General of these Lidies by the late
King. Suspects the letter has not been given to her, as he has not
heard from Sauzedo for so many years. Has heard from Juan
Astil (Sir John Stile), ambassador of England in Spain, of her good
health and prosperity, which gives him great pleasure. Hopes she
will have a prince from whom a numerous progeny may spring. A
long time ago he endeavored to get leave of absence from his post
from the late King to come to Spain ; but Ferdinand would not yield,
even at the repeated intercession of the Queen (of Spain). Had
always intended on coming to Spain to go and kiss Katherine's
feet and hands, which he hopes he has now a chance of doing ; so
that he may be able to say with Simeon, '^ Nunc dimittis servum
tuum,** &c.

Writes to her by an Englishman named Friar Ricardo, who finds
this country injurious to his health. Sends several curiosities of
these parts, as a gown used by the Caciques on grand occasions, a
chair or saddle (silla) for Cacique women, in order that she may
see what those Caciques use who are kings, and do not yet acknow-
ledge any superior. Would have sent parrots, but fears at this
time they would not stand the change of climate. When he gets
his leave of absence, which he expects every day, will bring her
some. Santo Domingo, the Isle of Spanola, 6 Jan. 1618.

Yesp. C. 1. 120. Wrote last on the 22nd. The King, Chievres and the Chan-

B. M. cellor are marvellously pleased at the good expedition made with

the French ambassadors by England touching their charges, espe-
cially Toumay ; consider it a great mark of his affection, and
will recompense it with a good bishopric. The Chancellor told
him this morning that the King writeth now unto your grace.
*^ Here be many bishops old, and as soon as the Lord Roux' son
is provided with one, the King hath promised unto him the next
shall be yours." The Chancellor told him how the King was
minded to send unto Wolsey pensions for my Lord of Norfolk and
my Lord Chamberlain, and had promised to remember him (the

9 HENRY Vni. 1211

1518.

Lord Chamberlain) and CliievrcSy and that this message had been
sent to both, not only by Master Ponynges, but also my Lord
Chamberlain. The King is anxious to have Tournay in his hands,
but fears the indignation of the French. *^ And if they may have
the French King consent by the means of the Great Master of
France under some color and according to the devices which they
had in the matter with the said Great Master at his being at Cam-
bray, as the Chancellor saith, they shall speak in it ; and where
this expedient shall lack, and that the King my master were deter*
mined to be quit and discharged of the said Tournay, they say to
take it by way of gift, and that the King Catholico in payment
thereof might confess himself debtor to the King my master of a
sum of money for as much borrowed, making an antecUUe to the
bonds, and for a part it might be taken the free of the tolls for
all the King^s subjects to and fro, according to my former writings.

p. a 1. 117. Wrote his last on 22 Dec. On the 24th arrived the Bp. of Fine's

B. M. servant, the Spanish ambassador in England, advertizing them of

the despatch made by them in the French affair, at which they are
highly pleased. Had Tournay been surrendered to the French, the
Spaniards are persuaded that there and in Flanders much mischief
would have arisen; as the French, by means of the Duke of Guel-
dres, Robert de la March e, the Bishop of Luc, molest the countries
beyond sea; and had they Tournay with its castle, and war broke
out between them and Burgundy, intolerable harm would be done
to Flanders, contrary to the covenants between the house of Bur-
gundy and Tournay against their will, it would give them advantage
to foment insurrections in Gaunte and elsewhere. The King
Catholic has written to his Council in Flanders to observe strictly
the amity between himself and Fngland, and conserve the interests
of the latter. As long as this continues between the two powers,
wise men think that France cannot touch one power without
touching the other. To prevent the increase of the French feathers,
and disappoint their purpose of a marriage between the second
daughter of the Earl of Bolen, sister-in-law to the Duke of Albany,
and the Pope's nephew, Charles has consented to a marriage
between the said nephew and the Grand Captain's daughter and
heir, who has 20,000 ducats of land in the kingdom of Naples.
An honorable personage shall be sent to persuade the mother and
daughter to conclude the match. If this succeed the Pope will
join the alliance of England and Spain, and the peace of Christen-
dom be secured.

The Pope has granted the realms of Castile indulgence of three
years, which will amount to more than 800,000 ducats of gold, net.
** For here the common people, whether they well or not, be com-
pelled to take it for a certain money, and the commissioners ap-
pointed in this business have avanced unto the King, by manner of
lent, a 176,000 ducats, whoso commissioners shall have for their

right and labor a penny Flemish for every bull, and the King two
rjalles of silver for every man, that is upon tenpence English. Tho
Pope hath had in ready money for such grant 27,000 ducats, and
10,000 restored again that he had lent for the payment of the foot
men in Spain."

One called Barbarowse, Greek-born, a renegade of the Turks, with
a band of 200 robbers, assisted by some principal Moors, has killed
the King of Trammyssent, a tributary to Spain of 12,000 ducats
per annum f has usurped his kingdom, is preparing to invade Oram ;
the King Catholic has sent 5,000 footmen, 200 spears, 400 gennets
to its relief. There are already there 1,5C)0 footmen and 400 horse.
These succors take passage within twenty days at Malega in Gra-
nate. The Pope labors to persuade the King Catholic to a crusade
against the Infidels. It is urged that if the Turks make any enter-
prise they will begin with Sicily and Naples. If the affairs in
Africa succeed, and he is not stopped by the progress of Barbarows,
the succors mentioned above are to pass unto Naples. If the Turks
come into Italy, *' I doubt much that ; before any sufficient remedy
be made for them they shall have done great harm and desolation.*'
The Pope has written how benevolently the King of England has
offered to go in his own person and be captain of the sea. If any
good is to be done in the matter it must proceed from Henry and
Charles ; small trust is to be put in others.

The Pope has ordered his nuncio the Cardinal of Tortosa and the
Bishop of Badayos to be commissioners for the division of the arch*
bishopric of Toledo. The King has appointed to the whole arch-
bishopric the Cardinal of Croy, on conation of paying a pension
to one of the two Priors of St. John deprived of the priorate, and
also to the Cardinal of St. Croyse, in recompence for the see of
Syguouza. The archbishopric is worth 100,000 ducats per annum.
Chievres is made contador mayor, with a salary of 4,000 ducats.
The estates assembled at Yalladolid on the 22nd« It is supposed
they will grant the King 600,000 ducats at least.

In a late tourney the Lord Fennes, the Earl of Porsen, the
Master of the Horse, and the Sieur de Heaurens were the chiefs.
Each had in his company fifteen men of arms, and ten '' strodyotts"
in rich liveries •; on which occasion the King presented to them
6,000 ducats, and has proclaimed other jousts where he will run
himself. He has sent to inquire in all the realm what horse and foot
he can levy at a need. In Biscay, Lopusque and all the fi'ontier of
Navarre warning has been given to be in readiness within eight
days,/* for to cheris the Frenchmen in case they were minded to
enterprise anything against Navarre." All troops in the King's
service are commanded to muster at Toredyssylle, **where the King
shall go, being determined to have 1,600 spears afler the manner
of Flanders, and 2,000 light horses orderly, in his service, and
paid by the crown of Castile." Arragon will have no light horses,
but 500 spears. From the " religions" of St. James, Calatraba and
Allecantera it is reckoned he may have 400 serving at their own
cost. He can bring into the field in his whole power' 20,000 horse
or more ; is therefore, with good rule, much greater than the French
King. A chapter of the Toison d'Or will be held about April.
The King had better appoint Chievres as his propter, and not for-
get Lord Fyenes in the nomination. Charles has been marvel-
lously delighted with Henry's letters, and his resolution relative to
Toumay, He has sent Armostof to the wife of the Great Captain,

Frantis has made great complaints to the ambassador of Charles^
acctising him of breaking the peace with the Duke of GueldreSy and
thai hCy out of honor artd justice^ will not suffer it. He has allowed
fifteen days for an answer. Chievres says the French King has
been practising since Apr,il against England ; but, as the parHcU"
lars have not been accepted, he thinks they need not be published.
Had heard from the Great Master that the French had signified
to the King of Castile that^ if they sent troops to the frontier of
Flanders^ he should not take %t as done against himself They hiid
since urgently required his consent for tlieir enterprize upon Tour»
nay, and not only received a sharp answer^ but the Council of
Flanders had been commanded to keep as strict a watch upon it as
if it belonged to themselves,

Chievres saith that the Kiug has commanded a levy of 1,000
horse more to be made in Flanders, and March next the Great Master
is to go thither by sea with Don Fernando and a goodly army.
There was a rumor that the King was amorous of a goodly gentle^
woman of the Queen of ArragoiCs " Many Spaniards were glad
thereof thinking he should follow the young Council ; howbeit they
have been deceived^ for his amours be succeeded very cold,** Val-

days demanded by the city of Tournay to make answer to the
King's letters lately sent by Kichmond. As the King is resolved
that his letters shall be obeyed, Jemingham is to use all means he
can to induce the city to comply. Is to retain as many English-
men for keeping watch as were employed formerly, who are to have
their " maletott " and other assizes. Will send by the next post
the letters desired by him for the Dean and Chapter. The King
knows by other hands of the assembling of 8,000 or 10,000 lanz-
knechts. Their enterprise is not against Tonrnay, but against the
King of Castile by means of the Duke of Gueldres. William
Pawne has been sent to inspect the provisions due to the castle and
what is to be done next year for building the citadeL Jemingham
need not therefore apply any part of the 7,000/. to that purpose. If
the town will find watch and ward, as formerly, many of the English-
men will be retained at their cost. Thinks it unadvisable that
captains and others of the guard should be dismissed by the King's
letters, as Jemingham suggests. As he is lieutenant, can do so
himself, and may punish the refractory. Henceforth the King will
have his commandments obeyed without any contradiction. The
King declines to give him authority to grant any pardon to such as
shall be discharged. He shall have licence to come to England
when good order has been established. " My manor of Hampton

Mamelukes. Told him, that since the arrangement between the
Pope and F. M. de la Rovere, everything was quiet. Wolsey
extolled the King to the skies for his love of peace and justice ;
said he understood the King of France was fitting out an armada
in Britanny. Sebastian thought it was very unlikely ; but if so,
it was against the Moors. Wolsey told him he had received
articles from the Pope for the Christian expedition. Had a oon-

Tan. 3909. William Latimer to Erasmus.

.X. 22. Has received his letters dated 21 Nov., thanking him for his

offers of assistance in correcting the New Testament, although he
never remembers to have made such a promise, as he feels unequal
to the task. Thinks More has imposed upon him, for he spoke to
Latimer on this subject and on that of the Bishop of Rochester
when he was last in London. Had declined to teach the Bishop
Greek, not from want of good will, but because he had spent eight
or nine years in other studies, and scarcely touched a page of Greek
or Latin. All writers of the new Testament (pmnes fere qui
in sacris litteris aliquid scriptum religuerunt) have used different
words and style to that of the ancient Greeks, and he has given so
much time to the latter that he cannot promise that he understands
the other. The criticism of the New Testament is a difficult sub-
ject It is difficult to reconcile the contradictory readings, and it
would require great research. No one could desire more than has
been done by Erasmus. Will say nothing of the labor of consult-
ing the best of the Fathers, whom few theologians in this age
study, or of reference to the Hebrew, in which tasks Erasmus has
shown his industry, as well as in his collation of ancient MSS.
This surprises Latimer more, when he considers the paucity of
Greek books. If he should meet with anything which he does not
approve of, will not fail to let him know.

As to rendering services to the Bishop of Rochester, is most
anxious to oblige him, as who would not ? But, one month would
be much too short for instruction in Greek. Believes that the
Bishop is a man of singular genius, and fitted for a higher position.
Grocin, well known to Erasmus for his multifarious learning, spent
two years without intermission in the study of Greek under the
best masters ; Linacre even more ; Latimer himself, six or seven,
and he does not scruple to acknowledge his ignorance. Forbears to
speak of Tunstal and Pace, who were kept longer at this study than
might be expected, considering their abilities, from the ignorance
and negligence of their teachers. If he wishes the Bishop to ad-
vance in these studies, should send for some skilful instructor from
Italy. Oxford, 3 kal. Feb.

8910. Erasmus to Wm. Latimer.

K. 23. Wishes he had not been quite so eloquent in excusing himself

from assisting Erasmus in revising the New Testament. Does not
agree with him in his advice that the Bishop of Rochester should
send for a good Greek scholar from Italy, to remain with him until
he is thoroughly instructed. There are fewer scholars in Italy now
than when Latimer was there; and instead of a scholar, some mere
dabbler might come. With such men as Linacre and Tunstal, not
to speak of Latimer himself, would not wish for an Italian. Did
not Grocin, whom Latimer mentions as an example, learn Greek in
England before going to Italy ? The Bishop will probably be con-
tented with a moderate knowledge, wishing only better to under-
stand the Holy Scriptures. He should not allow his modesty to
prevent him from rendering such a service. Antwerp, 1618.

1 Feb. 3918. Extimcts of letters of Campegoio to Wolsey from Borne,
^tB.ni.197. dated [1]* Feb.

B* ^ The Pope has not answered the King's letters before, because he

had lefl Rome, and on his return was engaged in the ceremonials.
The brief will show how pleased he is with the mission {expe*
ditio) of Campeggio, and the King's desire for the peace of
Christendom; — thinks it desirable that England should join neither
France nor the King Catholic, but remain neutral. He his sent
a Confessional for the King's use, and his children's, in a most
ample form, which had to be recopied through the faultiness of
the transcriber. The Legate, who has returned from France*
states that Francis will join the crusade in person, and offers
to surrender to the Pope the duchy of Milan, with all its strong-
holds. To quiet men's minds it is important for Campeggio to
know the truth of the rumor that the meeting of Henry and Francis,
which had been fixed last year, shall take place in the spring. The
Bishop of Vesprin, Viceroy in Sclavonia for the King of Hungary,
writes that danger is anticipated from the Turks. The nobles of
the country, so far from compounding with the Turk, are williog to
become his tributaries, and allow him free passage to Austria, Stjria,
Carniola and the Tyrol, and even through Friuli to Italy. The Pope,
who is much alarmed, has sent a sum of money to the Bishop.
The Hungarian ambassador has been made Bishop of Scardoua, and
will be sent to the Emperor. Messengers have been sent to Bel-
grade and Jazar. which have hitlierto resisted the Turks. News is
come from Rhodes that the Sultau is making great preparatious.
The Emperor is resolved to scud to the Pope Don John Manuel,
at whose coming, it is thought, the treaty between them will take
eflfect. No conclusion has yet been arrived at, as the Spaniards
boast. Campeggio advises that the King should take into his \\hj
one of the papal secretaries. He states that the sapphire he has

Turkish preparations, and said : '* By the grace of God I have so
arranged the affairs of this kingdom that his majesty will act as a
right Christian prince, and prove his valor against the Turk by
deeds and not by words.*' He asked if there were any news of
the French preparations : Sebastian told him, none, alUiough he
had received much news from the Venetian ambassador in France.
Wolsey insisted upon the French armada, showing that he thought
it was destined against England, which is consequently making
ready. Sebastian told him, if he knew of the fact of such armada,
it would be either for the afiairs of Barbary or Savoy ; but he
did not believe it, for he was sure that Francis was averse to war
and anxious for the friendship of England. Wolsey desired him to
write to the Venetian ambassador in France to urge Francis to
declare himself openly ; for it was not to his honor to embark on
huch an enterprise furtively : or else let him give ample assurance
of his good will. Sebastian assented, stating that the. Signory
wonld employ their best services on this occasion. After dinner
he. Wolsey and Norfolk discussed the same topic. London, 2 Feb.

Cannot report as yet the King of Castile's answer for certainy

refus^ to deliver the realm of Navarre, to which he had a better
claim than he knew when he was in Flanders; that as to the

from the King, though it is certain he lost a chain of gold and 400
ducats' value of goods. The King is entirely governed by Chievres,
the Chancellor and Lekshaw, and by no Spanish ministers, except
the Bishop of Badajoz and Don Garcia de Padilla, who came with
him from Flanders. The Bishop of Cordoanor (Cordova), Don John

The Cardinal of Tortosa is a noble and virtuous prelate, and one
of the chief councillors. He is well inclined to England. The re-
wards given by Henry to Armestorff were well bestowed. Chievrea
is one of the two contadors majors or treasurers of the realm. An-
tonio Fonseca, brother of the Bishop of Burgos, is the other. The
Spaniards are dissatisfied that the Council is so French. There is
little love between the Spaniards and the Burgundians. The Chan-

(Don Fernando) leave for Flanders, Lord Ruys and most of the
Flemings will go with him.

was talked of between the Prince of Portugal and the Lady Eleanor,
and that Mons. Tresany, her chamberlain, was to go to Portunl

continues here. News has come that the Turk is making great
preparations. No measures are taken here for defence. The 6^000
horsemen, and 4,500 foot, who, as Stile wrote two months ago, were
to have gone to Barbary to succour Oran and the King of Tre-
mesin against Barbarossa, lie still at Carthagena, unpaid. It is
doubtful whether they will go to Barbary, or to Naples, or return.
The late Cardinal of Toledo left 212,000 ducats of gold to be /*

given to the churches and his servants; the King of Castile has ^y"^ V

appropriated the money to his own use, together with a great quan- ^

tity of artillery and harness, which the Cardinal had provided. 4h

The King and his Council say that he had done more damage in
casting down the walls of towns of Navarre than all his wealth
amounted to.

George, the Almoin gunner, is here, who served Henry at Te-
rouennc and Toumay. He is counted one of the cunningest men
in the world in the devising of artillery and fortresses. Wishing
he was secured for Henry's service, had some talk with him about
the slack payments which are customary here. He is determined
to serve no longer, and wishes to be engaged by England, together
with a son-in-law of his, a Spaniard, who is both a good artillery-
man, and cunning in organs and instruments of music George
demands a noble a day for himself, and 20d» for his son-in-law.
They will bring their wives and children to England, though they
have land and houses here, and live at Medyna de Bjoj Secko^
where the Almirante of Castile dwells. Two fairs are hdd there^

who has written for him.

Was shown lately a letter of marque against the King's Inab
subjects, for a ship and goods taken in the court of Corcam (har-
bour of Cork), belonging to a man of Portogalette, In Biscay,
which was granted last August by one of the land of Ireland,
'* calling himself Bemaparte, Prince Schemea.'' Said he knew no
man in Ireland who had authority to issue such letters, except the
Deputy or Chief Justice, and that he knew Bemaparte to be a
rebel. Begs his expences may be remembered. Last June it was
a year since he had any remittance. Is in great debt, and has sold
part of his plate. Is grieyed to have had no intimation of the King's
pleasure for two years and more. Last July sent his servant to
the King with letters, which were deliverea at Windsor on the
11th August, but he has not since returned. Knows not what
to do. Here is Thomas Spinelly, a Florentine, who says he has a
commission from the Sling, and that no other is authorised to be
Henry's ambassador in the King of Castile's court. He is yery
busy with Chicvres and the Chancellor, and meddles with every
man's matter, and says that he has daily letters from the King
and Council, and great promotions from Henry. Does not believe
he has any commission. Must put up with it till he hears from
Henry, though it is much marvelled at here. Yalladolid, 11 Feb.

Some French treasurers have been at Berne with the money
owing to the Swiss. They made the following proposes in tho
name of their master in the diet daring payment : — ^The Pope
being engaged in preparing an expedition for attacking or checking
the Turks, and needing the aid of Christian prineesy and especially
of the French King, his majesty is desirous of setting out per-
Honally and in full force. For the security of his kingdom during
his absence, he desires a league with the Swiss, and that they
will permit negotiations for it to be commenced. He will send
them the Bastard or the Grand Master Boysi. If thej will
not consent to this, he asks for the loan of 15,000 of their in-
fantry against the Turks and his other enemies. If they will
not grant this, he asks them to allow those of their infantry who
are willing to serve* for his pay to do so. [If they would not]

grant this, they could not object << si nsas ad

R. O. Report of the examination of Sir Robert Sheffelde, accused of

harboring tlit' murderers of one Girdlington, taken before ''the
most reverend father, &c.," [Wolsey.]

6 Feb. 9 Hen. VIII. — He acknowledges, (1) sending money to
the murderers, as deposed by Rice and Milner ; (2) that he falsely
alleged he had been untruly indicted ; (3) spoke unfitting words to
the King ; (4) accused Wolsey of prosecuting him through malice.
On this he was committed to the custody of the Lieutenant of the
Tower, not, as formerly, for contempt of the King and Council, but
as a felon, time being given him till Wednesday next to consider
whether ho should plead that tho King's former pardon covered
the murder, or put himself on the King's mercy.

10 Feb. — On the Wednesday appointed, being further examined,
confessed that he had bidden Milner and Rice beat Girdlington.
. On being told that he had sworn the contrary, he confessed it, and
said he thought it was lawful in order to save his life, but, being
corrected, submitted himself to the King's mercy. Confessed also
that he had spoken with Rice in the Fleet, that he had insinuated
. he was persecuted for being '' fast in the cause of the temporalty."
Did not remember saying, " It was unhappy that the lords tem-
poral were at variance at tliat time; for, had not that been, my Lord
Cardinal's head should have been as red as his coat was," Re-
manded till Saturday, being counselled by Wolsey ** to debate with
his counsel the availableness of his said pardon, as .well for -the
' ^ causes abovesaid, as for the surreptitious taking out of the Chancery

of the same pai'don." . .

13 Feb. — Confessed the words touching the variance between the

in the deprivation of Cardinal Hadrian. Is as much interested in
the business he has on hand as if his life depended on it* All the
delaj which has occurred must be attributed to the infrequency
of the King and Wolsey's letters. Had thej written before, the
Pope would never have contracted this affinity 'with the French
King ; but he supposed, from their silence, that they were indiffe-
rent to the marriage.

As for the gold cloth and tapestry left with him by Pace, he must
wait for ' a ship ; land carriage would be too costly. Hears that

27 FeU 8078. Wolset to Silvester Bp. of Wobcesteb.

ICartene Amp. C. The King could not answer the papal letters before, because of

III. 1S77. the unportant nature of their contents. In reference also to the

proposition contained in them, for an expedition against the* Turks,
the King found it needful to summon his councillors, and upon
their advice to communicate with the Catholic King, with whom he
is now on the most friendly terms. If, however, the Pope is in
earnest about the matter, he must enjoin unanimous peace on all
the princes of Christendom ; and it is unquestionable, that, but for
the immoderate ambition of certain princes, the design might
already have taken effect. But they on whom the Pope most relies
are preparing a numerous armj, and seeking for new causes of dis«
sension ; and whilst they give out that they are anxious for peace,
they only lull the world into a false security, that they may attack
it unawares. The King of France must be urged to set bounds to
his ambition ; and if temporal means prove insufficient to secure
the peace of Christendom, the Pope must have recourse to spiritual
censures.

The King will be obliged to Worcester if he will eamestih^ press
the Pope to declare his thoughts as to the intentions of the Irench ;
— ^what he has heard from their agents and ambassadors ;— whether
they are inclined to war or to peace. His majesty is prepared for
either event ; — if they attack his kingdom, they will find him fully
prepared to meet them ; if they desire peace, no one is more ready
for peace than he. Worcester is to be speciaUy careful in obtaining
and sending intelligence on these points.

By the arrival of the last letters from Spain has been informed
that the Catholic King has determined to procure for the Duke of
Urbino the daughter of Ferdinand Gundisalvo in marriage, and
had sent messengers for that purpose to her mother. Such a con-
nexion would be more beneficial to the Pope and to Christendom
than any French affinity. The King of France is offended at our
refusal to sell him our city of Toumay, which we have conquered
at vast expence and peril, and we now hold by indubitable right and
inheritance. We have acted thus, not because we derive any
advantage from that city, but solely that we may place our affiiirs
and those of the King Catholic on a safer footing, and repel injury,
itany injury be offei^ us.*

^After the 23rd inst. the English ambassadors sailed for Spain,
and would have started before but for the tempestuous weather.
They are commissioned to communicate to the Catholico the project
of this expedition, and urge this affinity for the Duke of Urbino.
Meanwhile the Pope must hold the French alliance off for a time.
Letters say it has been concluded already, but the King has such
faith in the Pope he will not believe it.

As for Worcester's information that there was a party in Eng-
land plotting, in conjunction with France, to depose Wolsey, and
the Pope's fears lest this design should prove successful, it is
impossible to say how grateful the King is to Worcester for his
diligence in communicating this information. He is more pleased
with this instance of the Pope's regard, and the vigilance of the
Lord Protector [de Medici], than really apprehensive of any such
danger* There is no king in the world who is more ai^ently
loved and respected by his friends, nobles and subjects than the
King of England. His very look strikes terror into evildoers.

WOLSET to SlLYESTEB Bp. OP WoRCESTBB-^-eOltf.

As for Wolsey and his administratioiiy the kingdom never was
greater harmony and repose than now : '' tanti enim justitiam
aequitatem facio, absit jactantiae crimen." If he were to offer
resign, he is certain that neither the King nor the nobles wou.-^*W

allow it. It is quite possible, however, 5iat the French shou »ld

stick at nothing to disturb the quiet of the realm.

As for the privation of Cardinal Hadrian, would not say anoth^ &
word were he not well aware how much the King feels in th^^ais
matter. Two days since letters came from Worcester, of 6 Feb ->.,

containing, ut semper, barren words and most liberal promises. Is

surprised at the Pope's procrastination. Worcester says that th==ie
French King has taken Hadrian under his protection : WoLsey

well believe it, and for a sinister purpose. Wolsey would rathi
not have said a word on the subject : *' Mitto quod magna interi m
nota regiae majestati intingitur,* quae semper apud omnes, plurimu
apud ejus sanctitatem posse, prsedicavit." The Pope might hai
avoided the scandal by permitting Wolsey to hold Hadrii
bishopric in commendam. Begs Worcester will let his holin<
know that he cannot oblige the King more highly than bj^d_

B. M. Venetian ambassador in France, setting forth the good will of _

Fi'ench King. The news proved most agreeable to the King m^^^
the Cardinal, and all the lords. On offering to speak of -cl**^
Turkish news, Wolsey desired to hear the French tidings, and sa-i^*
" I am glad the King of France does not purpose to make any ^ti^
against England, Flanders or Scotland ; so that my King may Li^^

tinian'Sy ^^oo^ ^^^ to the King ; and on telling him the news from
France, and the good disposition of his most Christian majestj,
'' who did not mean to attack any one unless provoked bj manifold
injuries," Henry began to laugh as if he suspected deceit, and
said if Francis were in earnest he would not so lightly injure
Englishmen, or deny them justice. Sebastian assured him that
the ambassador would not have written in this tone had he not
^ been convinced of the truth. The King rejoined, that the ambassador

wrote to the best of his knowledge, but that was no more than
Francis chose to tell him. The King denied Sebastian's statement
of the marriage to take place at iBaster between the Duke of
Urbino and the sister-in-law of Albany. He ridiculed the arrange-
ments between France and the Swiss. Sebastian thinks that the
English lords consider themselves scorned and slighted by France.
After this. Princess Mary, who is two years old, was brought in.
The Cardinal and Sebastian kissed her hand, ** pro more^ the
greatest marks of honor being paid her, universally, more than to
the Queen herself. The moment she cast her eyes on the Reverend
Dionisius Memo, who was there at a little distance, she com-
menced calling out in English * Priest I' and he was obliged to go
and play for her ; after which the King, with the Princess in his
arms, came to me and said.: 'Per Deum, iste est honestissimus
vir et unus carissimus ; nullus unquam servivit mihi fidelius et
melius illo ; scribatis Domino vestro quod habeat ipsum commenda-
tum.' " Thinks Memo is in such high favor that he will be able
to advance the interests of Venice. Two ambassadors, the Abp. of
Armagh and Lord Bemes, have bean sent to the Catholic King.
Wolsey promised to appoint Pace and More as commissioners in
the affair of the wines. The latter is in high repute for his justice.

6 Feb. with Master Davy, "king of heralds, with the King of
Denmark,** and two other Scottish knights, Alexander Hay and the
Lord of Bokyvell. As soon as they were at their lodging the
herald changed his gown for a cloth of gold, the Scotch knights
for crimson velvet furred with martens ; and so went with heralds
in livery of green camleM^4|ie burgomaster of Antwerp, desiring
the loan of 1,000 gyldyns. On his refVisal, they started for Malines
on the 8th, where Davy delivered his letters to Lady Margaret from
Denmark, stating the Queen was with child : thence to France.
The Scotchmen were to return to Zealand. As the herald had
letters of great charge, thought if they could get possession of them
the King would be advertised of many secrets ; sent out John
Bussell, who took the herald, but a servant escaped with the letters
into a wood. Told the herald they only wanted the Scorclimcn.

letters they send signed by the King of Denmark ; to wit, desiring
aid of the French King to make war on Sweden ; certain money to
be obtained from Scotland ; pardon for the two knights to be
obtained from Albany. The herald had a letter to the Duke of

Scotland, a fourth to Albany from the secretaiy of the Danish
chancellor, containing an account of the death of \he last brother

this subject. This Davy was in the service of Henry VII. and

alone to blame. Is glad that he and John Mill (Molendinus) like

the King's mind is changed. Thinks the King must leave this
for London, as they cannot abide here, and there is no horse meat
at Woodstock. The King wishes to know from Wolsey whether
any of the royal palaces near London are infected with the sickness.

be driven to extreme poverty, as Wolsey will learn by her mes-
senger. She would have been still worse off had not Magnus and
Dacre, when she ^as at Berwick the day before her entry into

Lorenzo, the Pope's nephew, is attempting to occupy Campania, and
has married the daughter of the King of Natarre. Wishes he had
such a horse as Warham once sent by Erasmus to the Abbot of
St. Bertin's. People wonder he is going at his age to undertake
such a toilsome journey ; whilst he is much more astonished that
the Bishop of Paris, who is now nearly 70, should engage himself
in tasks much more burthensome, for purposes not half so impor-
tant, in the judgment of Erasmus. Louvain, 5 March 1618.

interest with the King to obtain for Erasmus some competent
present. Has been compelled to stay at Louvain on account of the
theologians, who would have fallen upon him otherwise. Pace has
traduced him for his poverty, whilst in his own estimation he is as rich
as Midas. It is the province of his correspondent to remove this
insinuation. May safely trust money to this messenger. Wants
a useful nag. ^^Bene vale cum dulcisgima conjugali liWisque

requests, if he has any, to send them by the bearer. Louvain, 1518.

3989. Erasmus to Bp. Fisher.

Er. Ep. App. 806. Is preparing for his journey to print the New Testament, which

he has revised to the best of his ability. If he has done with
the papers Erasmus sent him by Peter the one-eyed, begs thej
may be returned ; and if he has any message for Beuchlin, Erasmus
will see it delivered. Wants a good quiet nag ; and will be gbid
if the Bishop can send him one. The winter has been very
tedious, and he is worn out with his labors. Complains of his
treatment by Faber. Regrets Grocin's illness, though he was no
friend to Erasmus. Has tried the King and his Achates (Wolsej)

Sr. Ep. App. 266. A fine jest indeed ! Pace's book is not more popular with the

theologians ib&n the Moria of Erasmus. The slur of povertj is
the fault of the patrons of Erasmus. Pace ought to remove it by
stirring up the friends of Erasmus in England, — especially as he now
has a long journey in hand. Is to apply to Montjoy and TanstaL
Wants a good horse, and has sent his servant to buy one. Has sent
him a Paraphrase and the Apology. Louvain, 5 March 1618.

5 March. 399L Erasmus to More.

Er. Ep. App. 265. Begs he will give John all such letters as he thinks may be printed

with a few alterations. If Urswick is still friendly. More may urge
him to send Erasmus a horse, as he must go to Basle or Venice to
edit his New Testament. Will take leave of authorship after-
wards. The printers at Basle excuse their delay in the Utopia bj
reason of the preface added by Budseus. Has not yet seen Linacre's
Therapeutica. Bidicules the war against the Turks^ and the
restrictions imposed by the Pope on both sexes who remain at
home. '^ Prohibet Pontifex ne uxores absentium in hello domi
voluptuentur, sed abstineant a cultus elegantia, ne utantur sericis,
auro, aut gemmis ullis, fucum nullum attingant, vinum ne bibant,
jejunent altemis diebus." More's wife is so wise and pious a
woman she will gladly comply with these inhibitions. Sends him
Pace's book : Conclusiones de ventis Pontificum et con»ilio de beUo
in Turcas suscipiendo. Has received from Cologne, Julius de calo
exclusus. The press in Germany is very violent. Begs More will
allow his servant to sleep in Morc's house a night or two for fear

8o ; but evidently a mistake of Eraamus or the copyist for Moun^,

horses. Has seen a French edition of the Utopia* liOUYain,
5 March 1518.

3992. Erasmus to Courr. ,

>p. 305. Is sorry that Coclites returned without any letter from Colet

Receives so many letters from bishops, nobles and scholars in Italy,
Spain, Germany and France, that if he had nothing else to do he
would be fully employed. Is grieved for Grocin's sickness. Will
be compelled, on account of his xTew Testament, to go to Basle or
Venice. Colet will ask why an old man and a valetudinarian should
undertake such a joiuTiey ? But what can he do ? Will die at his
work, or, if he survive, pass the rest of his days in England : ^^is
erit mens ab orbe undique inquinato secessus." Hypocrites reign
in the courts of princes ; the court of Bome is shameless ; what
can be more gross than these continued indulgences ? And now
a war against the Turk is made the pretext, when the real purpose
is to dnve the Spaniards from Naples ; for Lorenzo, the Pope's
nephew, who has married the daughter of the King of Navarre,
lays claim to Campania.

Thanks him for urging his business with the Eong. Has need
of ample provision. Has often baited for the King and the Car-
dinal (reverendissimus) ; but his nets always fail. Mountjoy's
friendship is friendship, but no more. Some complaint is made
that Erasmus declined the King's ofier of a pension of 4(tf« ; he
was told to expect 100/., but the promise was not kept. Wonders
that neither Francis nor the One-eyed brought him a letter ; Peter
is so buried in drink he cannot think of &ese things. Has sent
his servant to England, who, as he hopes, will not return empty-
handed. Urswick a year ago promised me a horse, and on that
expectation I gave him a New Testament. '^ Gratulor tibi, qui
Mariam * habeas domi, turbulentum, inquam, ilium hominem ;
quem ut meis verbis diligenter salutes majorem in modum te rogo ;

was nothing to fear this year, as he had received intelligence
Rhodes. Sebastian pointed out the threatening nature of t!
preparations. The King laughed, and said Venice was on
good terms with the Turk, she had nothing to fear. Sebast
replied, they had made terms with Selim out of necessity, and fr- -on^
dread of the formidable power of the Sultan. " Tell your Signo
said the King, *^ there is a person more formidable than the To.
who denies he has engaged any lansknechts, and yet I know he
hired them at two crowns per man.'* Sebastian replied, he thou
it very unlikely such a thing should have escaped the knowlecn^ge
of so wise a man as the Venetian ambassador in the French coi^^b^ ^
^* Upon this the King drew me nearer to him, and also took ^khij
secretary by the hand, — a gesture he repeated several times in ^Ki^Jie
course of the conference,— ^saying, * Shall I give you manifest pr^c=K)f
of the deceit of this King of France ? ' " and then went on to in^^ist
that the forces which Francis pretended to marshal against -^^he
Turks were really intended against Italy. Sebastian comba*^^'^
this notion without appearing to contradict him. The King nrg-^^d,
" He wishes me worse than he does the devil himself ; yet you ^^ee
what kind of friendly language he employs towards me, in orc^er
that I may trust sucli deceit : but I am so prepared tha^ shova^
the King of France attempt to attack me, he will find hhn&^^
deceived." He then insisted on the refusal of France to do just'ice
to his subjects ; the sending of Albany into Scotland ; ** where ie
will perhaps put the King to death in like manner as his brotli^r
died, which I never intend to suffer ; nor will I tolerate bis
presence there ; and should he send him, I shall hold the said King
my enemy." He then enlarged upon the love of interference on lAe
part of Francis. Sebastian turned the conversation, endeavoring
to avoid his resentment, urging that the Signory acted towards
both crowns impartially. The King expressed himself satisfiecl,

King. Would have brought them himself, but the Sling would not
allow him to leave till his departure on Saturday next. He has
kindly accepted the herald ftom Francis, and begs Wolsey will do
the same, and that answer be made to the French King's letters
concerning the birth of his son. Has sent for Mr. Meutiese, who
will be with Wolsey tomorrow. The King is pleased with the
news brought by Clarencieuz, and hopes all will be weU. He
thinks Face's going to Switzerland should be deferred till he have
further knowledge of the intentions of France, as it might provoke

Repeats what he had written on the 1st ; that the Pope was
expecting the articles of the treaty. The Spanish ambassador had
received two posts from the King Catholic with no word of it.
Suspects the league has not been concluded; while Chievres remains
in authority, can hope for no good against the French. Letters
have been received from Genoa, stating that the Swiss in the last
diet had refused peace with France. There is bad news about
Galeazzo Visconti. Had seen letters of the Duke of Bari, stating
that Galeazzo had endeavored to persuade him to a reconciliation
with France. Pace has very much changed his mind about Ga-

the matter about which the King is so anxious, as soon as the Pope
received the King's letters, signed by his own hand, he determined
by all means to fulfil his promise within a very few days. The

On the coming of the English ambassadors Sir John Style set off

9 HENBY Vm. 1246

518.

to meet them towards Bilbao, the 2lBt day of last month. The
states of Castile h^ve granted the King 540,000 ducats, to be paid
in three jears next coming bj even portions ; to ChieTres and the
Chancellor 16,000; desiring that for their good serrico thej may
stay here. They have desired that no gold or silver be exported ;
that the King will marry at once, and not wait for the French
daughter by reason of her youth; that Don Ferrando do not leave
the realm till the King have heirs; that the wearing of cloths of gold
and silks be restrained. Messyre Paul Darmestoff has not succored
in persuading the Duchess of Terranova to marry her daughter to
the Duke of Urbin, the Pope's nephew, because she has heard that
the Pope was pressed by the French King to marry his nephew
to the daughter of Bolen. Mesnre Simon de Taxis has suddenly
been seni to Borne to contract a marriage per verba de prtesenti
between the niece of Chievres and the Duhe of Urbin, with a dowry
of 10,000 ducats of gold per annum in free lordship^ which the King
gave her in the hingdom of Naples ; sending likewise power for
the same to his ambassador Don Pedro Durias. Chievres has pro^
mised 400 ducats of rent additional. On hearing this, much as the
Pope had desired to ally his nephew with a subject of the Eling
Catholic, before the arrival of De Taxis, on the 13th day of the
last month he concluded with France. The Spaniards are greatly
discontented, ^erc^mn^ that by the influence of the house ofUrsino
the French will have entire sway in Italy.

The King writes daily to his Council in Flanders to advertise his
ambassadors in England of all things to tJie prejudice of England.
They are to give help if the French attempt anything. The King
has affirmed the same this morning to Spinetly, who understands that
the King Catholic could in six weeks bring into the field 2,000 men
at arms and 1,000 light horse, — a fair company to keep the French in
check. As to the meeting with the French King, Chievres and the
Chancellor have shown Spinelly that '^ during this bruit and many
fair words given to the Frenchmen they have done and doeth continue
ally their business, and caused their master to be received peaceably
without any contradiction, saying the conclusion is yet far off, and
that if the Frenchmen be vigilant and cautelous they also sleep not;
and because from day to day out of France come new quarrels and
petitions for to have lordships and lands restored unto those that
have taken their part in the time past and to other their friends.
Moreover, that an ambassador with two doctors been comen from
the Queens of Navarre to ask the same realm, and join with the
French ambassadcH*." Spinelly sees little probability of the meeting,
which is unpopular with the Spanish lords. The King tells him
his amity with England is in deeds, with France in words ; and
if you will make stricter alliance with him he will be glad. Is
minded to send a form of articles, and, saving his honor, will refuse
nothing. Twenty-eight fair horses have come from Naples to the
King. The Chancellor says he will send six of the best to the
King of England. ''By such advertisements out of Africa the
Moor that pretende[th] to have the succession unto the realm of
Tremysen with the help of the country, mowed (moved) by the

Wolsey's opinion of entertaining the Pope with good words, " doh

commission being sent to my Lord of Worcester to hear what otJier
princes shall devise, but not to conclude. Has offered the King
the child of Wolsey's chapel, with whom he is much pleased, WLXid
whom he wishes to have sent notwithstanding his disease. ^A^
Pace is not going into Switzerland, the King wishes that Cardlzial
Sion should be entertained there. *' His grace did right well lau^h

rule of this realm to admit legates de latere. If, however, he had
nothing else except to treat against the Turks he would admit him.

it was reported that this folly was beginning to grow serious, and
that, in the public sermons made in this sacred time of Lent, much
nonsense hod been uttered against learning generally. Denounces
in severe terms the folly of a preacher who had distinguished him-

him this night your grace's most kind writing in this cause." He
wishes Wolsey to do as he pleases anent the Queen's old almoner,
but will not have him continued in her service longer than the
time mentioned in Wolsey's letters. He is very well satisfied with
the news from Spain and Flanders, and, according to Wolsey's
desire, returns him Monteignye's letters. He is sorry that my Lady
Margaret has dealt so hardly with De Berghes his good friend. He
wishes that horses should be provided between himself and Wolsey
to have the sooner knowledge of important tidings, which he much
desires. Has commended to the King Wolsey's diligence and
wisdom in desiring such letters as shall now be sent out of the
realm " notwithstanding such diseases as be specified in your grace's
letters to me." The King is well satisfied ; but he is discontented
with the bad treatment of his sister the Queen of Scots, and desires
to see the letters she lately sent to my Lord Dacres. Incloses two
passports, signed, desired by the Scots. Has spoken to Cornysche

P. 1. Probably the conclusion of some letter,

29 March. 4047- Seb. Giustinian to the Doge.

6io8tDe8p.n. 173. An English herald, who had been sent to France, arrived with a

French herald, a few days since, and has confirmed the news, and
announced the birth of the Dauphin. Did not see him, but has
heard his errand from Wolsey and Ruthal. Visited the Spanish
ambassador, who spoke of the forces of the Catholic King and of
the desire of all parties for a general peace. Waited on Wolsey,
and was summoned into his presence with the Spanish ambassador.
He spoke of the Cardinal Legates appointed by the four SoTcreigns,
and the necessity of mutual confidence. It was impossible, he
urged, to arrange a crusade unless the King of France wonld give
up his ambitious designs, and cease to harbor Albany and Richard de
la Pole. The Spaniard said that necessity would cause this union.
Wolsey replied, there was not time for preparation, and, turning to
Sebastian, observed : ** You are in a perilous position, but more
from the Christian than the true Turk." Seeing the Cardinal very
warm, Sebastian pretended not to understand the allusion.

Wlien the audience was over, they attended him to he4U' a
sermon. Thinks it was a mere excuse of Wolsey, to conceal their
indisposition to act against the Turk, and avoid the reproach they
would otherwise incur. Wolsey assured him that the Emperor wa.*
trying to obtain money from the Christian powers, and wanted all
that was destined for this expedition to pass through his hands; so
throwing contempt upon it. England is not on good terms with
the Emperor. After the sermon and the departure of the Spanish
ambassador, Wolsey spoke to him in a different tone, and no longer
abused the French King, but said he hoped that their disputes
would be arranged, and he would do all to promote the union, what-
ever he himself might suffer from it. " * If I perceive the King ot
France to mean well towards his majesty, and administer justice to
our subjects, I will at any rate conclude this union ;' adding, more-
over, * The King of France has now got a son, and his majesty here
has a daughter : 1 will unite them by these means.' " Sebastian
praised his determination. London, 29 March 1518.

closes. Next day Le came to this town of Arranda, and went to
collation with the Lord Chancellor, ^^ioho showed me that their ant'
bassador resident with the French King had plainly declared unto
him, in the name of the Catholic King his master, that in case he
should begin any business with your highness, the Catholico by all
ways and means possible with his whole power will not only assist
you, but invade him as his enemy, saying other requisite words/or
that purpose, and such intimation, Whereunto the French King
said if he intended to enterprise anything against your highness^ ii
wasjor to recover his own, showing no little marvel of such message
and declaration, as more plainly he will charge his ambassador to
say unto the Catholic King, remitting the full answer unto his
ambassador ; and demanding of him what news he had, he began
to rehearse the great love that his master had towards the Catolico
and also towards confederation, with many long circumstances
that was between them ; offering his power, and of all hisfriendsy
for the conservation of the King Catolico^s honor and dominions,
thinking likewise on his side he wol do the semblable for hun^
desiring D instantly that he should not meddle of the affairs
that might succeed and grow between your highness and them*
Whereupon, as the Chancellor hath affirmed to me that the King,
more constant than ever he was, said unto the French ambassador
that, having sufficiently by divers precedent communications de--
dared unto him his resolute mind in the premises, he thought
not well done to be importuned thereof, desiring him not only
to desist hereafter of such pursuits, but also to persuade the
King his master without aptente (attempting) anything against you
his uncle, whom he is bound to helpf and shall do it,

^^ And the Chancellor said to the French ambassador that gladly
he would knoxo what his master do call his own; and if he
speak for Toumay, %t is evidently notory the King his predc'
cessor and the present, by the peace and the treaty with your high'
ness, have in meliori forma renounced for them and their successors
unto all right and actions that they might pretend to have to the
said Toumay, Whereunto the French ambassador, without any
shame, affirmed their law and statutes of France do in no manner
permit to any King the alienation of the CrowfCs goods, and thai for
the same reason the contr(zct and promises was of none effect or
value : and so the Chancellor concluded who so ever hath to do
with them, he must make his reckoning upon his power, and not
upon their treaties and promises. One day after me, that was the
30th of March, arrived here the King, and the next morning 1
went to visit the Lord Chievres, giving him great thanks for the
matters shewed me the Chancellor, and for the King's wise answer
unto the French ambassador ; who said to me it wa^ superabundant,
because the King and his Council know manifestly your conserva*
tion and prosperity is their own, thinking your highness reciproce
suppose and desire the semblahlefor the common weal of you both
and of all Christendom, wherefore it is requisite and necessary to
persevere together jointly and indissolubly, and so doing whatsoever
the a vaunting Frenchmen say, it is to be thought they wol be well
advised before they come to any breach,

"Moreover the Lord Chievres saith that, notwithstanding the
answer given unto the French ambassador, and the charge beareth
Courteville, they have newly commanded unto their ambassador, in
all communications ivith the French King concerning such affairs,
to be plain unto him accordingly,

" Item, that of all the inquisitions and diligences caused to be made
for to come to the knowledge of the French preparatkms tmd minds

against your highness^ and by what means and way they intended to
offend youy he could no further perceive^ except that by some appear-
ances the /footmen entertained by the Duhe of Gueldres wot done
with the French money j the which since the truce prorogued for one
year betwixt theCcLtholico and him been dissolved and separated,

^^ Item, that Richard de la Pulla was in France about Christnuu
last, and had money and promises enough at his return to Meste in
Lorraine,

" Item, that the King of Denmark had sent one into France shov'
ing much miscontentment of your highness, and how the French King
was determined to send somebody to him again, for to better knov
what he wol say or what ground he hath to do you harm,

" It€m, that of late Bonivet^ Admiral of France, upon the news
they had of your highness preparing for the war, went in Normandy
for to put some garrisons in certain towns standing to the sea sidey
and to command some ships to be new dressed, and, after the Lord
Chievres* opinion, rather for a demonstration than for any effect, as
one that wol in no wise believe the Frenchmen shall avance them-
selves to begin anything, knowing his master's mind, ffowbeii he
and every wise man affirm your highness hath done prudenthf to
put you in aredines, whereby appeared your great power and good
provision of money, certifying your grctce the bruit and fame is
marvellous, and that from it proceedeth a great part of the estisnO'
tion and reputation wherein you be amongst all Christian princes.

" As touchlDg the King of Denmark, the Catholico hath written to
him, putting in his remembrance how he hath married the niece of
the Queen your spouse, and consequently the alliance of blood tf
between you both : and if he pretend to have any difference with
your highness, the said Catholico, kinsman and friend to thepartieSy
desire to be mediator and compositor thereof; and for this and manj
other considerations your highness may effectually perceive the he-
nevolent and faithful mind the King and his Council hath toward
your causes and affairs, whereof the Lord Chievres and the Chan-
cellor, rulers of all, do deserve from your highness right specud
thanks. And, a^ the Chancellor saith, the Queen of Denmarh «
with child, and amongst the news lately come out of France the
Lord Chievres is advertised that division in Council and in the
King's presence of the Catholico* s demeanor in the business of ToW'
nay. The Duke of Bourbon said unto [^the"] Ctreat Master of
France that by his cause and default they were at such point,
having he, by his own opinion, contrary to all others, done the
Catholico King so great as he is, inferring it was proceeded fro^
the subornations and gifts coming to him out of this court, and
thai any day the King his master and all the realm shall suffer
thereby,

*^ Furthermore, I signify unto your highness that this afternoon
the Chancellor showed me in secret how they been in great jfra-
tiques with the King of Portugal for the marriage of the Ladu
Eleanor, saying she was infortunate being of so nobles and rfr-
tuoses condition, and for lack ofyoungist {youth), almost compelled
to take a husband of forty-eight years, with eight children, the which
before those that God might send her, unto the crown and all other
things shall be preferred ; and though the Chancellor speak but of
the conclusion J suppose it is very nigh, and that in such case the
young sister shall be marry unto the Prince of Portugal ; and con-
sequently seeing no marriage in age convenable for the CathoUeo
that he shall ^ the loiter end take the daughter of Portugal^ with

the whichy I am credibly informed^ the King her father offer in
dower 600,000 duceUs in ready money. The Lady Eleanor^ by the
testament of her father, and by the ancient custom of the crown of
Castile, should have for her marriage 200,000 ducats: howbeit, the
King of Portugal demand nothing, the apparel for her body, and is
content to mahe her a fair dower upon sure land and rent; the sum
as yet J know not,

" By letters dated at Rome, the 15th day of March, the King hath
knowledge of the death of his ambassador Don Pedro UUreas^
and being Don Louis Carrots in commission to Naples, he is cam-
manded to come to Rome and to join with a Fleming, named Master
William Jngevorde, and serve therefor ambassadors till the King
shall send from hence some other bom in Castile, and none in
Arragon, The Lord Chievres saith they been in hand with three
that ever of them ware sufficient for such charge, one is named Don
Alonzo Telis, brother to the Marquis of Villiena, the other Her-
nando de Vega, Commandor Mayor of Spain, and the third Don
Johun Manuel,

*^ The King and his Council been greatly discontentis with the
alliance made the Pope in France against all reason, having at
his holiness instance sent unto the Duchess of Terra Nova for the
marriage of her daughter, and before the answer, doubting the long
tarrying should not hadgrieven unto the Pope, sent unto his holi^
ness the consent of the Lord Chievref niece with all appurtenances
according to the said Papers desire,

"And as well for that as for the great feast and triumph made
since for the deliverance of the Queens and other favorables de*
mostrations toward the Frenchmen, I promise your grace they have
here not small jealousy of the Pope and all his adherents, and been
determined to answered. Touching the truce published at Rome
amongst the Christian princes they wol first hnow the Emperors
and your graces mind, then give resolution : and, in case the con*
ditions been good and satisfables to the parties, then for more autho^
rity and honor of the them to accept the said truce jointly, together
with such clausis that may repress the ambition and tyranny of the
Frenchmen, Touching the Cardinal that is coming from Rome
hitherward, if he come without faculty and as ambassador, as the
Pope's nuncio saith, he shall be received, otherwise they wol not
accept him,

" The bulls of the archbishopric of Toledo arrived three days
past, and the De Cabra his brother is gone to take poi^session u>r
the Cardinal of Croy, who, with the reservation of all his benefices,
and for the sedia vacante of four months belonging unto the Popei
hath paid in all 18,000 ducats, as the Lord Chievres showed me.

" The Catholico King hath given charge to Fellinger to treat

wol regard to the bownds (bonds) and promises made to the French'

3 April 4057. Pace to Wolsey.

B. O. The King received his letters this morning, and is much pleased

with his diligence. He is of the same opinion as Wolsey respecting
the messenger from D'Iselsten, viz., " that he intendeth none other
thing hereby but for to be entertained by his grace under the color
of this sending of Richard de la Pole into England." The King
desires that thanks be sent to the Emperor for his notice of ente^
taining the Swiss, and is content to jmy them the annual pension
specified by him, whenever his majesty and the King of Arragon
will do the same. He thinks that the Pope ought to be induced to
bear his part in the same payment, according to the terms of the
confederacy, especially as in his last brief to the King he promiMS
to observe every article faithfully. The King is not of opinion that
Pace should be sent into Switzerland, for the diet demanded by the
French King, "intending to corrupt them with money," was held
last Mid-lent Sunday. The King thinks the Emperor wouW
rather have Sir Robert Wingfield, which he will not allow, and
thinks that Dr. Knight should be sent, who is well forward on the
journey; but, if necessary, Pace is to go.

The King thanks Wolsey for the final clause of his letter " touchiu^
great personages," and praises Wolsey's special regard for the surety
of his person. " And his highness doth signify unto your grace th^*
he hath not been negligent herein himself ; but at such time as hi^
grace had perfect knowledge of Ihe coming of the said great pel""
sonages unto him, his grace did secretly provide that they should tK3
advertised by their own servants resident in the court, as well of tU^
strait lodging here as the penury of horse meat, and for these respec^^
to bring with them a very small company. And Sir Henry Mame^
is executor of this the King's pleasure, and doth look thereunto botl^
wisely and faithfully, as well within this town as nigh thereuntcv-
The King is satisfied with the coming of the Provost of Cassel, hi»*
thinks he has some other message than that specified by Wolsey^ ^
letter, viz., to persuade war between England and France. He i^
to be told that the King will not break the peace between them-
Pace intended to come to Wolsey, but the King commanded him <^
stay and write. Ho also wishes to see a letter mentioned in tli^
Emperor's instructions to be sent to the Swiss from the French
King's secretaiT, which has not been sent. There is so little hori?^'
meat at Abingdon that the King intends to return to London od
Monday post dominicam in Albis (12 April), and wishes to know it
there is any infection there. The Duke of Buckingham arrived
today. Pace read every word of Wolscy's letter to the King, who
approved of his wisdom and diligence. Abingdon, 3 April.

B. O. The King will return to London^ as stated in his letters yester-

day. The Lord Steward is to make preparations. The King will
continue at Greenwich if not compelled by the sickness to leave it.
Has ofiered himself to the King to go into Switzerland, as Wolsey
had written to him in a letter of his own hand, which the King
read ; but the King will not permit it, as Pace wrote yesterday.
For the King has observed that both the Emperor and Wolsey
were advertised of the same things three months ago, and since
then war is like to cease unless England stir it again. As the
King is inclined 1o peace, and has sent a herald to Francis that he
does not intend to break it unless provoked, and urged the French
herald when lately here that all suspicions of war should be re*
movedy as, e.g.^ sending Albany to Scotland and treating with the
Swiss ; if the King now treat with them, Francis will think that
the King is not true to his word ; and though he is bound to send
an ambassador to the Swiss whenever the Pope, the Emperor and
the King of Arragon will do the same, it can only be done when
all the confederates are agreeable, and then only in such a way as
not to break the promise made to France by Clarencieux. Abing-

Has perused his paraphrase on the Corinthians. Never thoroughly
understood St. Paul before, '^ nunc sancta ilia prsecepta, quee antea

to hear that he intends to come to England next summer. If he
does, the King will show him great kindness. Richmond, non.

6 ApriL 4060. Pace to Wolsey*

R. O. The King has this day summoned his Council, and stated that

London was still infected with sickness ; therefore he must avoid
it. He thinks that the infection is kept from Wolsey's knowledge,
as it was from his when he was there : and notwithstanding the
scarceness in the country about Abingdon he is compelled to re-
main in places^ thereabouts, as comprised in the bill enclosed.
Wolsey is to certify the King whether there are a sufficient
number of the Council in attendance on him for the business of
the next term, and advises him to leave London when it is over.
* Will be heartily welcome to the King if he chooses to come.
Wishes a train of horses to be appointed betwixt himself and
Wolsey every seven hours. Of the noblemeq now about the King
and their order, the King will remember such communication
''concerning some of them" as has been between himself and
Wolsey. He wishes to know of the progress of the sickness. —
" When I had written thus far the King's grace commanded me to
add unto the premises, that both his highness and all his Council
doth fear the said sickness now at the beginning of these heats,
which be great here considering the time of the year." The
Queen said yesterday that she had perfect knowledge of the sick-

R. O. The Council here have desired him to advertise Wolsey that

the change in the King's mind anent his return to London has
proceeded of himself. As far as Pace can perceive, the King is
afraid of the sickness. When the Duke of Suffolk moved the
King and Sir Henry Marney '' that no conclusion might be taken
for his grace's abode here unto such time that his grace had been
advertised from your grace of the great sickness in those parts, if
any be, his grace made answer that he was well at ease here,
where no man cometh [to] tell him of the death of any person, as
they were wont daily," He has ordered each man to provide
horse meat as he can. The Dukes of Buckingham and Suffolk will
leave shortly ; but, by reason of his sister, the King is content
Suffolk shall remain till after St. George's feast. After Suffolk had
received the sacrament on Easter Day, he desired Pace to hear
him speak, and said '^ that he had been accused as untrue to the
King's grace, as well in the accepting of a protection offered unto
him by the French King, as in putting the French orators at their
late being here, or afore their coming, in comfort of the restitution
of Tournay." This he denies upon oath. Abingdon, 7 April.

P.S. — The King wishes to know Wolsey's opinion touching his
journey to the North. He hears there is some death at NottLngham.

D. vn. 1. Instructions from Stephen [de Poneher] Bishop of Paris to his

). M. secretary, John Gobelin, for his negotiations with Cardinal

Wolsey.

He is to remind the Cardinal that the Bishop has not forgotten
the desire expressed to him by Wolsey, when he and De la Gwiche
were ambassadors in England on the business of Toumay, for con-
tracting a marriage between the daughter of Henry VIII., then
two years old, and the Dauphin, if the Queen of France, who was
then pregnant, should have a son. For divers reasons he has not
been able to treat of this subject before. He now offers his ser-
vices for that purpose. The King of France is aware of Wol-
8ey*s desire to preserve the amity between the two crowns, and
hopes for his good offices in the matter. Proposes the meeting
should be at Boulogne or at Calais, and that it should take place
as soon as possible. Is not to be astonished that so weighty a
business has been broken to him by the Bishop of Paris. (^Signa-
ture burnt off).

ii. From the same to [the same] on a similar mission.

He shall express to the Cardinal, for his credence, the wish that
he feels for a closer alliance between the two crowns by promoting
the abovementioned marriage. Had resolved to send and discover
if Wolsey remained of the same opinion. Is moved to do so, (1) for
the good that would redound to Christendom by such a union, and
the discomfiture of the Infidels ; (2) by the pacific state of France,
and its league with the Catholic King and the Swiss ; (3) his good
understanding with the Pope, consequent on the marriage between
[Lorenzo] Duke of Urbino and the second daughter of Boulogne,
^* ditissimam ^t formosam." If he is agreeable, requests the nego-
tiation may be speedy and secret, and under the color of a treaty
about Tournay. He is to urge the Cardinal not to neglect so fair
an opportunity. 8 April 1518. Signed.

Vit. B. ni. 204, £xpectcd to have heard from him hy the last messenger, who came

B, M, with letters of the ult in answer to various things. Beillj

greater diligence must be shown. The Pope complains every dajof
the slowness of letters from England, and that he never has an
answer to his briefs in less than two months, which seems very
strange when so much diligence is shown here, and especially seeing
the activity of the Florentines. All other Princes write, even if tbey
have no business of importance, in order to secure the interest of the
Pope. The Pope has asked him ten times in two days what u the
cause of this remissness. Has excused the Cardinal as well as he
could. His holiness was very anxious to know the cause of the
mission of the French herald to England with ''Maestro Clarensa*'
(Clarencieux), of which Worcester had no intelligence. Is daily asked
if he has had an answer to the great offers, of which he wrote to the
Cardinal, made by Cardinal Colouna and the Adomi of Grenoa. Bat
for three mouths he has had no answer. >Vhile Ammonius Uved,
Wolsey used to say to him, when he deciphered Worcester's letters,
"In such a matter, answer thus ; and on that other, thus;" and told
him the news ; which Worcester was thus enabled to conmmnicate to
the Pope ; '' et ad quel modo poteva poi esser sua Slgnoria Reveren-
dissima un pocho piu morosa alio scriver dei medesma, et per con-
clusione fine che Ammonio visse le cose . . • domo molto bene et
per li pedi soi et honorevolmente.**

Since then, things have been much n(^lected. Knows well this
has been owing to the plague. Begs Pace will press this upon
Wolsey, who makes such difficulty in giving audience to his sub-
coll[ector] and Peter Vannes. The King and Cardinal desired him
formerly to write everything important to Ammonius, and to give
credence to his letters. Thinks the same should be done as regards
Pace ; and, as it might be too much ti*ouble to Pace to answer at
length, it would be sufficient for him to give directions to the [sub]-
colloctor or to Peter Vannes. Writes under correction of Pace, from
whom he is expecting letters, having heard that he had gone to
court ; and had received the briefs, and was well satisfied with
them. The Pope says he never gave a dispensation for changing
the office, but Worcester will see what he can do. Pace must
have heard of the Duke of Urbino's going into France. No
one has a good opinion of this affinity. '' Distantia (sua Santiia)

The truce between the Emperor and the Venetians is nearly con-
cluded. The Emperor, according to his wont, will touch the money.
Don Louis Can-oz, formerly ambassador here iarom the Catholic King*
is expected as ambassador here, in consequence of the death of Don
Pedro. Don Jeronimo Vich retires, to the general i-egi-et. All the
legates, except the Cai'dinal Farnese, who is ill at Viterbo, will start
in two days. The said legates have no faculties, and they ai*e pro-
hibited in the bulls. It is thought, however, that when they reach
their destination they will make instance to procure faculties ; a
request to which Wolsey ought not to consent, because it has been
already refused in Spain.

News of the Turks. Will be with the Pope in a few days, touching
the deprivation of Cardinal Hadrian, which Worcester thinks is
certain, by reason of the promise mode him, and the brief sent to
the King. The Pope is, however, by nature dilatory. The Cardi-
nal must provide the money for expediting the matter of the
church of Bath, which will amount to six [thousand] ducats,
because Wolsey does not partake in the privileges of [Cardinals]
not being at Rome, '* saltern una volta Cardinale ; come anc[o non

R. 0. Has received his letters expressive of the great pleasure he has

in being advertised by the King of all occurrences, and has thanked
the King, as desired. ''His highness is no less contented with
your grace's contentation than though ye were his own father." Is
glad to do him any service he can, '* signifying unto your said
grace that ye shall find no servant of yours within England more
studious to do faithfully that thing as shall appertain to your
power, or surety of your person, than L" Is glad of his opinion
touching his return to the Swiss. At his coming to Abingdon
with the King, was ready to have done so, but abandoned it at
the King's command when Clarencieux returned from France.
Had begged leave of the King to repair to the Cardinal's presence,
as he commanded, to treat on the subject, ofiering to ride to the
Swiss without delay. Hopes he will take in good part what he
has stated of the danger he would be in through the Emperor's
displeasure, and not suffer him to be cast away. Thinks the French
King would be provoked if he were sent to the Swiss. The
Bastard of Savoy openly said, when Pace was in Switzerland, that
to compel the King to desist from entertaining the Swiss, he would
induce the French King to send Richard de la Pole into England
and create great dissension. Has not said this from any wish for
his own ease. If the King's money is wasted there as before, the
last error will be worse than the first. Thinks he can do Wolsey
greater service whilst he is absent from the King by staying in
England. Abingdon, 11 April.

ip.C. Regrets greatly to hear of the incursions of the Turks. A joint

expedition of Christian princes appears absolutely indispensable.
Of this the King is fully aware, and has laid aside his private
animosities for Uie general welfare. Wolsey, out of his regard
for the Christian religion, would not fail in urging the King to this
course, but he does not require urging. Has informed the King
of the Pope's intention to send a legate for this purpose to all the
princes of Christendom, and that Cardinal Campeggio is to execute
this commission in England. Although it is not usual to admit
any foreign cardinal to exercise legatine authority in this realm,
the King is content to waive that objection, provided that all those
faculties which are conceded to legates de jure are suspended, and
that Wolsey be joined with Campeggio in equal authority by papal
mandate. Otherwise the King will in no wise allow Campeggio
to enter England : '' neque hujus regni municipalia jura, qua sancte
regia majestas observare astringitur, hoc sinerent." Recommends
to him John Salvaggi, a Genoese. London, 11 April 1518.

il. 4074. Pace to Wolsey.

Received his letters dated the 10th, with those of Cardinal Sion
to Wolsey, and the instructions of the Provost of Cassel and *' the
Kinge's giestis" to the North. The King wishes Sion to have
the rest of his commission and the pension promised, but exceed-
ingly dislikes the provost's instructions, as Wolsey does, touching
Tournay. Thinks the arbitrament of the same as unreasonable, ''as
though a man should put his own gown in compromise of other
persons.** The King thinks there is some crafty design in Spain,
to which the provost is not privy : they have sent him therefore
with a slender message. He is also surprised at the King of
Castile's statement that he had credible information of the King
having prepared an army against France. He ought not to have
given credence to so great a matter before he had been advertised
by the King. He is satisfied with the arrangements for his northern
progress, but wislies inquiry to be made about the sickness, as four
or five persons have died of it at Nottingham, as appears by a bill
enclosed. It is secretly said that the Queen is with child. Prays
God heartily it may be a prince, to the surety and universal com-
fort of the realm. Begs Wolsey will write a kind letter to the
Queen. Praises Lord Mountjoy as Wolsey's faithful iiiend. Has
been told today that the King will give " Sancte Asse to Freier
Standyche ; wheroff I wolde be ryght sorye for the goode service
he was lyke to do to the churche. Erit tamen difficile huic rei
obstare (ut mihi videtur) quia majestas regia ilium mihi jampridem

ambassador, and authorizing him to join the Christian expedition
and ratify anj peace sanctioned bj his holiness. He then asked
Giustinian whether the Signory wished for peace or war with the
Kmperor. On his saying " Peace," Wolsey replied that the King
of France was the greatest obstacle to this ; and accused him of
cajoling the Emperor. Sebastian distrusted this intelligence ; and
Wolsey hinted that he had received it on the authority of Cardinal
Sion. When Sebastian said that Francis had always evinced great
friendship for the Signory, *' the Cardinal made answer, ' Don*t
be surprised, for you have often been deceived by the Kings of
France.' To this I said that * Alius fuit Ludovicus, alius Fran-
ciscus'; and he replied, 'Omnes sunt GallL'" On Sebastian en-
deavoring to press the subject of the wines, Wolsey promised that
a fortnight hence, when Parliament met, Sebastian should be heard.

\. XIX. 46. • . . . The King [has received Wolsey's] four letters dated the

.M. 11th of this month, with my lord the [Cardinal of

Sion's]* instructions, the letters from [Dr. Knight*] and the Deputy
of Calais, and the answer to the Pope's articles. Is desired by the
King to make answer : first, that he is well pleased at the over-
throw of the Black Band of the Almayns, as also with the other
news that the Bp. of Luke and Robert do la Marche intend to
Qjoin with the] Burgonyons, which, if true, will be a gre^t aid
to the King of Castile, against the Duke of Gueldres. Touching
the answer to be made to the Lord d'Issclstein, the Kin? gives
[Wolsey] permission to write it in his name. Touching the Cardinal
of Sion's instructions, though the King clearJy sees, as Wolsey
suggests, that it may bo a drift to disturb the French King " his
[enny]my8" afiairs in Switzerland, he is [conten]ted that Pace
shall go to the Swiss to treat with tho ambassadors of the Emperor
and ii^c King of Castile upon the acceptance of the league con-
cluded in England. The Kiug will be glad to pay, according to
his late promise made to the Emperor, his part (viz., 20,000
fiorins) of the annual pension to be given to the Swiss, and also to

send by letters of exchange his part of 24,000 crowns

fiorins, as well for sustaining the of the diets in Switzer-
land as for the of our friends there against the

great effusion of money employed [by the French] King to

corrupt the Swiss [con]tented to expend money as

liberally as ... . entertaining of them, and to establish .••....
with them, if it may be." This liberal disposition of the King's
[must be] kept very secret, for if tho Emperor or the Cardinal of
Sion should discover it they would " never cease from asking of
me, the denying whereof might be destruction." It will be suf-
ficient if they be informed in general tenns that nothing shall be
wanting there to the accomplishment of the premises on the King's
part.

The King has commanded Pace to send to Wolsey for [cor-
rection] the instructions lately made by Pace himself [touching]

the Swiss " ["^]y house at London, and I have wi'itten to

and in his absence to tho Master of the [Rolls]

thence and to deliver them unto and at such time as

such instructions [shall be] finished and sent hither to his gi*ace to
"^be rea]d and signed. His grace's pleasure is that then I [8ha]ll
lepart towards your grace and set forward [on my] voyage.**
Meanwhile money is to be provided for Pace, so that he may have
it at Basle or Lyndowe, whatever difficulties the bankers make.
Pace's departure is to be kept secret, and no person to bq made privy
to the instructions but my Lord of Du[rham]. All the money
which is to be expended on the King's business had better be paid
into the bank of Velzers. If the Fucars had it they would retain
as much for themselves as [should be] of them demanded, " for the
loan of money by them unto Sir Robert Wingfield."

15 ApriL 4084. Silvester Bp. of Worcester to Pack.

K. O. Was displeased at receiving no letters from Pace by the courier of

the 18th ult.; and much more so when he got no letters either froKKi
tbe Cardinnl or Pace by the 29th, notwithstanding the importanc^^
of what he had written on the part of the Pope in r^ard *^^>
occurrences here, and the briefs of his holiness. Has often signifi^*^
to Wolsey how displeasing this backwardness was to the Pop^ ;
and it is most ill-timed and dishonorable to both the King and C&z~'
dinal. Nor does his being engaged in most important and arduoci^
negotiations excuse him, as he could easily employ somebody else to
write to the Bishop of Worcester. Silvester, Worcester's vice-col-
lector, would be the best man for anything of the kind, being a most
honest man and a good wi'iter; and if the Cardinal could not see him
ofteuer, he should have an audience once a week at least. Reqaests
Pace's good offices in assisting in bringing this about. Has written
to the Cardinal on the subject. Is himself very busy in answering
letters, and asks Pace's advice liow to proceed in the matter, in
which, after the death of Andreas Ammonius, he remembered no-
thing had l)een done. All the ambassadors have left. They ought
to have had some reply as to the mind of the King and Wolsey be-
fore they did so ; but the Pope, receiving no letters, though the tine
had been ample, did not wish them to defer their departure. Hears
irom France that they eagerly expect the ambassador destined to
be sent them, whose name is Sancta Maria in Porticu. Has heard
nothing of the confirmation of the five years' truce, except that
the one between the Emperor and the Venetians was looked upon
as concluded. The Turk has been again much troubled by the
Sophi, and has commanded all his people round about CoDStUH

tinople to find him, on peril of their life. The French orator, by
the order of his King, greatly favors Hadrian, which, though not
dangerous, has greatly incensed the Pope, as did the rare corre-
spondence of Pace and the Cardinal in the matter ; still the Pope
proceeds to the deprivation. The affair will suffer some delay, as
the Pope has left Rome for fifteen days, for has health's sake. Will
urge it upon him, however, on his return. Rome, 15 April 1618.

Sempey and Molombais and Norkarme ( ?) are next in commaod,
under the Great Master, who is instructed to take his coun>e to
Plymouth, but if the wind be contrary to land at the nearest port
in England. The Spanish ambassador in Franco wrote on the
12th that the French King had replied to him about Courtvilie's
charge. '* The son did not with his father as ought to be done,
willing to assist your highness against him for a thing wherein it
concerueth his honor and profit, that was Toornay. And as touch-
ing to make the submission in the Catholic King for such diffe-
rences as ho hath with your highness, he said all matters of the
world he wol gladly submit in him; howbeit, considering the im-
portance of such message, and the circumstances of it, he thought
right convenient to think upon it, and not to give full answer
without first having good advice and counsel therein." Next day
the Chancellor of France called on the ambassador, and told him be
thought it strange that Charles ^' should so openly take the quarrel
against his father-in-law, with protestation to invade him ;'' and
said that as the Lady of Angouleme and the Great Master were
absent, he must wait to know their determination. The Chancellor
also told him, in the French King's name, there was no need to
communicate further for the meeting of the two Kings. This meet-
ing Chievres and the Chancellor say they never really desired.

The French King expects easily to recover Toumay, through
intelligence with the inhabitants. Chievres and the Chancellor,
however, do not believe the French will break with England or
Charles, but will keep good watch, so that " if the said Frenchmen
do not fly into Tournay, all their enterprises shall come to nought.'
The French ambassador here complains of the tone of the Catholic
King's letter to his master. He went yesterday along with Albret's
ambassiidors to the King, demanding tlie final answer, but they
were told the King was going into Arragon, where they migh(
follow him, and should have an answer there as the case required;
but the Chancellor thinks they will return to their countries. The
Pope's nephew was to arrive in the French court on the 12th, and
the Duke of Lon*aine two days after, to christen the French King's
child, after which, Francis goes to Britanny and Guienne. The
Emperor's ambassador in France is trying to get a sum of money
to prorogue the truce with the Venetians. The alliance between
the King of Portugal and the Lady Eleanor is concluded. They
have sent into Almaine 100,000 ducats more to promote the King
Catholic's interests in the election of King of the Bomans, and
counteract the practices of the French. Chievres strongly advises
Henry to send an ambassador to the Swiss. The King leaTes
tomorrow for Arragon. Ho will receive the English amhas-
sadors fifteen leagues hence. Spindly rides this morning to meet
them. The estates of Arragon make some difficulty about taking
the oath to Charles as King, while his mother is alive. Pos-
session of the archbishopric of Toledo was given to the Car-
dinal of Croy without o])position. It is daily more evident they
are determined to marry Charles to the daughter of Hungary, when
they have an opportunity of splitting with the French. Aranda,

An outlaw, Don Matheo Bechiaria^ a native of Payia» who resides

burthened already ? John brought the horse, and lost it on the
journey. Wonders at the coldness of his ancient patron Moantjoj :
^' sed uxor, opinor, et filius augent natune vitium.** His only con-
solation at More's being brought to court is, that he will serve the
best of kings ; he is lost to Erasmus, and to letters. The Dukes
of Gloves, Juliers and Nassau had taken measures for the safe
disbandment of the impious thieves (the Black Band) ; and but for
the sounding of a trumpet, no one knows how, not one of them
would have perished. In the disorder a thousand of them were
cut to piecc'j. John tells him ho is to be received into More*8
family, lias not yet seen Linacre's lucubrations. Thomas Grey
is very anxious to redeem some of his paternal lands from Colet :
if More cannot help him, begs he will give him the best advice.

Galba, B. yi. 23. Lewis Marraton, who has been here these eight days, says <3ke

B. M. Emperor assembled yesterday the Estates of his dominions at Is-

parge, and explained to them his extreme necessity, having mort-
gaged certain portions of his patrimony. After long debate they
gave him 300,000 golden guyldyns to be paid in three years, whici
has put the Emperor in more tranquillity. The French King gives
largo bribes to win over the princes of Germany. He has given
the French Queen's sister to one of the house of Brandenburg, to
which two of the electors belong, viz. the Marquis and the Abp.
of Mayence. He has the Count Palatine and the Duke of Wirtem-
berg in his favor, who have married two sisters of Duke William
de Bavicre, who is a burgess of Berne among the Swiss ; bat the
Duke of Saxony, who is an enemy to the house of Brandenburg,
and has not always done his duty to the Emperor^ has humiliated
himself, and sent his Chancellor to the Emperor. The Dnke de-
livered a letter sent by Kichmond for the King of England to
Alamire, who has since been in France. Has heard from Alamire,
since his return, that France supports 3,000 men of war in Den-
mark, and is willing to support 8,000 ; with what view he knows
not. This is confiimed by a servant of Sir Guyot lately in France.
Sir Guyot intends going himself to the frontier of France to inqoire
further : if the King wishes it, he will enter France, although it
would be hazardous.

Lady Margaret told Knight today that the French King, as
her ambassador writes, favors Richard de la Pole to create mis-
chief. She thinks, however, he is rather preparing for an expedi-
tion against Naples. It is said the Pope's nephew will have bj
the French King 10,000 Swiss ; that companies are now JNMsing
the mountains. Montegnye and the Audiencer have gone to
Centrone (St. Tron) to treat with Robert de la Mark, but nothing
is expected to come of it. A great diet is now held at Augsburg,
but what is done is not yet known. Probably the Emperor hw
followed the example of the Pope, the French King and the King
of Arragon, who levy money by an indulgence, pretending great
iear of the Turk. Begs money for his diets, which expired »*

Veq>. GL xnr. 201. Arrived at Woodstock yesterday: met the King riding out hunting.

B. M. ^' He axed full heartily of your grace's welfare : the which when I

had declared unto him, and made your commendations .in my best
manner, showing how that I had letters unto his grace from you,
he said he would the sooner return, to the intent he might know
the contents of them.** After supper delivered the letters, with
which the King was satisfied ; and summoning his Council, the
Dukes of Buckingham and Suffolk, Lovell and the Comptroller
Mamy, he " willed them to look upon the subscriptions of the same
letter, and to consider your substantial dealing in that behalf." The
King ordered him apart, ** that in no wise he should make mention
of London matters before his lordH." He wished him also to s^
openly that Wolsey would be with them in five or six days. ** It
may Like your grace, the King's grace was not only well contented
with such order as you have taken in all matters, with the advice
of his Council there, but marvellously commendeth, as well your
wise, circumspect and substantial dealing, as your diligence and
intolerable labors ; and gave unto you openly, before all his Council,
great lauds, commendations and right hearty thanks for the same,
saying these words : ** * That there is no man living that pondereth
more the surety of his person and the common wealth of this his
reahn.'"

The King thinks it would be better to hold the next term
at Coventry rather than Oxford, as the resort of suitors to Oxford
might infect the town. He wishes Wolsey, as soon as business
will allow, to repair to Woodstock ; ** for here is clear air, which
his grace thinketh ye will like very well.** Has communicated
mattera with Lovell and Mamy ; the former will be with Wolsey
on Satnrd^Tf for reasoDs he knows* The King will sign the

R. O. Master More has certified the King from Oxford, that three chil-

dren are dead of the sickness, but none others. He has charged the
mayor and the commissary in the King's name, ** that the inhabi-
tants of those houses that be and shall be infected shall keep in,
put out wispes and bear white rods, according as your grace devised
for Londoners." The King has ordered the matter to be debated
in the Council, when More's device was approved of. It was dis-
cussed whether it would be better that the fair held in Austin
Friars in Oxford, fourteen days after this, should be stopped or no,
as it is thought that the resort of people thither from London and
other infected places will make Oxford as dangerous as London,
next term. " Also it was said in the said Council that in stopping
and letting of the said fair, there should ensue grudges and mur-
murs amongst the King's subjects ; specially in London, where
they would think that men went about utterly to destroy them, if,
with other their misfortunes, they should also be kept from their
fairs and markets : and so, after great debating, the more part was
in this opinion, that the said fair should not be stopped ; notwith-
standing, they concluded all to take your grace's advice in the matter."

that Pace was going on an embassy to Rome. Lately, Norroj
herald {Nortnannia) from England, told Budssus that Pace had
asked after him and proffered his services ; and further informed
him of Pace's great influence and popularity with the King. Speaks
of himself and the great value he sets on his intimacy with foreign
scholars. Has learnt from Pace's book, that Linacre, More,
Tunstal and Latymer are their common friends. Praises Henry for
the favor he shows to men of letters, and the pleasure he takes in
their company. Contrasts the French with the English courts in this
respect. Notwithstanding the accomplishments of Francis I., bis
thoughts are turned in a Afferent direction, ** sinistro quodam fate."

own histoiy and his repatation for Greek. What he thinks of a
court life Pace will leam from his book, De Asse, Is never there
except when the King is at Paris, where he has not been for a year.
As to Pace's exhortation to peace, and a stricter alliance between
the two nations as conducive to their mutual interests, he cannot
speak as Pace can, as he does not share the confidence of the King ;
but the French say that England is not sincere in that wish ; that
England is only waiting to put Toumay in greater security, and
then it will pay little attention to treaties. Thinks Francis is
inclined to peace. Desires his remembrance to Linacre, Tunstal

Expects from their union the happiest results for repressing
disorders and protecting Christendom. 2. The King is resolved to
assist him with all his power and confirm his estate ; and hearing
lately of sundry assemblies made by Francis in France, Gelderlaxi<iy
and the countries of Robert do la Marck, sent warning of the
same to the Low Countries, o£fering assistance, of which he supposes
the King of Spain has been advertised by his governors and com-
missioners. 3. Desires that whatever treaties be made by either
parties shall be mutually communicated, agreeably to which tb^
King has ordered his ambassadors to show his brother the ove^
tures lately made him by the Bp. of Paris and Mens, de la Guisb^
and his answer. With regard to the late peace between England
and France, as the King's subjects have been ill treated at se», h^
had sent to France desiring recompence should be made, accordii^
to existing treaties. On this Francis sent over the Bp. of Ptn*
and Mens, la Quiche, ostensibly only to take measures for repres-
sing piracy, but, as it appeared when they came, to urge the
delivery of Toumay, saying that it was of little yalne to the Kn^

and yet offering large Bums for its snrrender. As the King was

unwilling to giye it np in a manner which could prejudice the
King of Castile^ overtures were made for giving him previous
notice, and not putting anj garrison in it. These conditions^ the
French said, were unnecessarj, the alliance between them and the
King of Castile being so cordiaL At last the French ambassadors
agr^d to refer it to their King, who, finding that he cannot obtain
his purpose on the conditions proposed bj them, is making pre-
parations for war bj sea and land, hoping to recover it l^ that
means. The King trusts Charles will aid him in case of invasion,
on application being made to the Archduchess hy the King's
deputy of Toumay or Calais, and thanks him for the orders he has
already given on the subject, as notified by the Spanish ambassador.
4. The King is much rejoiced to hear of Charles's determination
inviolably to observe his oath, and the virtuous inclination that
he bears to truth and faithful dealing. 5. The Pope has sent
to England for counsel in resisting the Great Turk. The King
understands he has made a similar request to Charles. Before any
expedition can succeed, a universal peace must be established, and
the Bang desires to know Charles's opinion ; for though the Pope
has made little mention of England or the Sang of Castile, but
^ in manner committed the leadmg of the Christian armies to the

Emperor, the French King and the King of Portugal, if Henry
and Charles be firmly united and their forces well considered, the
Pope will show more regard for them. The ambassadors shall
take with them a copy of the Pope's book of articles sent to the
King, and show his said devices with the King's answer. 6. They
are to thank Charles for his good will to the marriage between the
Pope's kinsman and the daughter of Gronsalvo Fernando. This
will more strengthen the league between the Pope, the Emperor,
England and Castile, than if that alliance had been made in France.
The Pope has not only ratified that league, but bound himself to
its inviolable observance.

When brought to the presence of the Lady Eleanor they are to
make the King's commendations to her, and thank her and Don
Fernando for their goodwill to England. They shall take letters
of credence to Chievres and the Chancellor, and tell the former that
the King r^ards him ns his kinsman, and has such confidence in
him that he has commissioned them to declare to him their whole
charge, and ask his counsel. They shall also congratulate him on
the favor he is in with the King of Castile, *^ and his politic con-
ducting of the said King " safely to Spain.

H£NRT ym. to Abp. of Armagh, &e. — eani,

Francis has been complaining to the Pope of the breach of the
treaty of Noyon. It is believed he will send Bourbon over the
mountains, and raise new disturbances in the Low Countries ; ^' for
which purpose the King's grace is informed that the French King
hath obtained of the Lady Vandome the towns of Newport,
Dunkyrk and Gravelyn, intending to set garrisons in the same.**
The King knows also what the SVench have openly said about
Navarre. It would therefore be better to provide a marriage for
the Pope's kinsmnn in Spain. Notwithstanding the fair words given
by the French, if the King of Castile marry the daughter of Por-
tugal they will do him all the injury they can. Henry is moved
to send this warning out of friendship to the King of Castile, and
has written to the Pope to dissuade him from the French alliance.
When the ambassadors have an opportunity of speaking to the
King alone they shall tell him that Francis is not much attached to
I his Queen, who is of small stature and not beautiful, and as she is

now with child there may be some danger in her delivery ; on
which account Francis, hearing of the singular beauty of the Lady
Eleanor, Charles's eldest sister, and considering her prospects ia
relation to the succession of Spain, is endeavouring to prevent her
being married into Portugal, that if his own Queen die he may
marry her. And though this might seem an honorable match,
Charles and his brother Ferdinand might be in danger from con-
spiracies against their lives. The King therefore urges Charles to
give up the French marriage, and ally himself without loss of time
with the house of Portugal, or elsewhere, so that he may shortly
have an heir.

As the King of Castile's councillors may be blinded by France,
in order to stop *' the said enterprise" it will be well to give secret
notice of it to the great lords of Spain, who are not inclined to
France, and to consult with Sir John Stile, on their arrival, to what
nobles it ought to be discovered.

Here follows an intended insertion in a previous part of the
draft : *' And here the said ambassadors, making recapitulation and
rehearsal unto the King of Castile's council of the great charges
and expenses that his grace hath borne and daily sustaineth" in
fortifying Toumay and building the citadel there, rather for the
surety of Charles's dominions than for his own profit, shall discover
to him the overture, made by the Spanish ambassador here resident,
that the King Catholic should contribute to the maintenance of a
garrison there. In consequence of this the King has forborne to
treat with the French for the delivery of the town, and has put him
in complete despair of it. Nevertheless, considering the manifold
expenses of the King of Castile at this his first entry in his domi-
nions, the King is unwilling to burden him with any new charge,
but advises him to apply part of the money which he has appointed
for the maintenance of his spears in the Low Countries to the sup-
port of the English garrison in Toumay,

It is necessary that instructions be sent for the King's

it a good time to mention the indulgences which Wolsey de8irei|j
to obtain for his colleges till the deprivation is over. The Pope ttP
in good humor for the service rendered him by Wolsey, and hli
approval of the marriage. Meanwhile he wishes to have a copf
of the indulgences required in the name of the college. The Pope
has granted a brief in favor of Pace, at the King and Wolsey*!
intercession. He will deliver the clothes of the dead Cardinal to'
the merchants. Wonders that Wolsey has not provided the monej j
for expediting the bulls whenever Hadrian's deprivation takes plaoa
The truce between the Emperor and Venice cools apace. The
Emperor is willing to submit the dispute to the French King.

St. Ander, under the conduct of the Great Master. Had met the
English ambassadors at Almassan, and received the King's letter
dated 2S Feb., approving his services, and commanding that he
should be taken into communication with them. On appearing
before the ambassadors they refused to let him be present at any
of their communications, saying that they had it expressly in
charge to do so. Spinelly complied, but desires his discharge,
considering he is ill treated and badly paid with less than 20«. ster-
ling a day for diet. On St. George's even the Chancellor arrived
at Almassan, with the Constable, the Duke of Veggery, the Prior
of St. John, the Count de Haro, the Bishop of Corduba, the Bishop
of Badayos, Don Alonso Telis, brother to the Marquis of Yillyena,
Don Diego Degyvara and divers others, and went *^ spoured and

England, in the King's name.

the Bishop of Badayos and the Governor of Bresse, appointing an
audience for next morning at 9 o'clock, when the Marquis of Bran-

Spinelly to Hekbt VIII.— con/.

The Queen's grace is with child. The ambassadors of Albreit
follow the King from Arranda, urging continually new expedients
of marriage to no purpose, as he finds from Chievres and the Chaa^
cellar. These lords are daily in much thought for the election, at
the French King is unsparing in his money, especially as all hat
to pass the Emperof^s hands, ** who, after his old condition, sendetk
to none other, saving in pluching of money by every way," The
Chancellor has lately discovered *' that his majesty did handle ike
bargain for the alliance with the King of Hungary so that the
third part of the dower cometh to himself. This subtlety induced
them to request the consent of the Lady Margaret that Don Mm
de la Nuca may go as ambassador from the King Catholic to ike
Emperor, as one not lihely to be overreached. This is considered
most important, since all Christendom will suffer if the French
King is elected.

By letters from Rome of the I2th the Ahp. of Mayence had not
yet been created Cardinal. His advancement is owing to France,
but the Pope will have the Emperor* s thanhs. If he be created
Legate de Latere, his influence, joined with the other electors hit
brothers, will sway all the rest ; therefore he must be won by Spain,
cost what it will. They have no means of preventing the mar*
riage of the Lady Renee affianced by France to the eldest son of
the Marquis of Brandenburgh, except by giving him Charlett
youngest sister. Spinelly dreads most of all the diligence and
dexterity of the French, and the slackness of the Spaniards. The
alliance between the Lady Eleanor and the King of Portugal it
concluded. The Emperor will not oppose it. From the in/or'
mation of Chievres and the Chancellor he thinks that Charles will
marry the daughter of Hungary. Yesterday posts came out of
Almayn, Flanders and France. ^' The Emperor had written a
great book, which as yet was not deciphered; howbeit his majesty
wol in no wise no peace nor truce with the Venetians unless theif
give him 200,000 ducats."*

There had been great rejoicings at the christening of the French
King's child, who is named Francho, and the order of France was
given to the papal nuncio. The estates of Arragon have not yet
concluded '^ to sworon the King for King ; who tomorrow go (goes)
to Serragosa." When he requested the Duke of Alba, at the de-
parture of the court from Yalladolid, to attend him into Arragon,
the Duke replied, " that he had been very ill entreated for many
services done, as well in the conquest of Navarra as in divers other
matters ; wherefore he would no more lose his time, and so went
home." His opponents, seeing his ill favor with the King, appeal
against the agreement by which the Abp. of Toledo was to pay a
pension of 7,000 ducats to the Prior of St. John, the said Duke's :N>n,
after agreement made with the other Prior, the Duke of Vegery*
brother. By news from France of the 26th April, Francis still
purposes to go into Brittany. The Duke of Urbin hath given
many jewels to his wife.

Francis complains that he is mocked by the King Catholic
touching the meeting, and has little cause to stick for the weal of
his son-in-law. As the Frefich are overweening, and the Spa-
niards highminded, they will shortly fall together by the ears, amd
would have done so before but for Chievres and the Chancellor,
considering the inexperience of Charles and the desire of the nobles
to bring him into their danger to their profit. The Emperor writes

made the proclamation, they broke his trumpet. Next daj the

there is a dose alliance between England and the Catholico, and
the latter will not allow England to be invaded. The ambassador
said that France was contracting a friendship with the King of
Denmark; and should the latter devise anything against this
realm the Catholico would send an armada and annihilate King
Christian, although his brother in law. This he repeated severid

nftcrnoon, wearing the garter about his neck, accompanied bj a laj
great court. He kept evensong in his robe of the order. About two
liours before his coming the Chancellor came to them, with Lord
Fynes, and about twenty other noblemen, who welcomed them
heartily, and bade them wait on the King next morning. To tlirir
credence and proposals the Chancellor answered that the King
thanked Henry for sending so far, and would be quite ready to M
anything to the confederation that Henry wieiied. The King,
Council and all his subjects are well disposed to England, and those
to whom Henry's letters were addressed received ti^em thankfiiUy.
At the King's command Chierres and the Chancellor came to them
five days after (for the King had moved the same day, and thej had
followed him), to ask the further cause of their coming.

On rehearsing their commission, Chievres and the ChaneeUor
answered : (1.) that the King was now in Spain, and not in Flin-
ders ; that any negotiations between the French and them would
not affect their amity with England or the Emperor ; and that
upon tidings of a French army being prepared against English
possessions, their master wrote to his ambassador in France to laj
that if the French King made war on Henry he would resist to the
utmost of his power. (2.) He thanks Henry for having sent an am*
bassador to Flanders, and promised to do the like in all Henxj's
affairs. (3.) As to the proposal that all confederations between
either of them and elsewhere should be common, they said it mast
be so ; for the Pope, notwithstanding the French marriage, which it
is said he repents of, had sent to the King a blank bond of amity to
be enlarged as he thought proper ; but nothing is to be done without
Henry's consent. They are satisfied with Henry's answer to the
French ambassador's demand concernmg Toumay, and with the
conditions in that answer, for further effect of which an answer
shall be sent when the Provost of Cassel returns from England, or
on sight of his letters. (4.) The French King •*goeth about covertly
and layeth many baits to attain to the empire," and has caused the
Pope to make the Abp. of Mayence, one of the Electors, a Cardinal
He has also offered the Lady Rayny, sister of the French Qaeen,
with great sums of money, to the son of Josselyn, Marquis of Bran-
denberg, another Elector. Courtevile has been sent thither to
hinder his purpose, with money to be distributed where need be,
and offers of "much fat spiritual promotion," with proffers of
marriage for the Marquis's son with the Lady Katharine, the King's
youngest sister, and with more money than Francis offers. Does
not imagine that this marriage will take place, but it will act as a
stay. (5.) They accept Henry's answer to the Pope upon the
articles demanded against the Turk. Send the King Catholic's
answer at the Chancellor's request, viz. that the French ambassadors
labor incessantly to bring about a meeting between the Emperor,
4he French King and the King Catholic, promising with great bonds
and oaths that the French King will come when and where the
King Catholic will appoint. The Council of Spain delays this
meeting, thinking that no good effect would come of it, as the
Turk's power is so well abated. Chievres and the Chancellor mj
that in that matter and all others, nothing shall be passed until
Henry has been consulted. (6.) As to the lote marriage they
answer there is no remedy, and confess their sloth and negligence.
They say that the Pope's niece is to marry the son of the Spanish
ambassador long resident iu Rome, now out of commission, and the
Lady Eleanor to marry the King of Portugal, and that ** thiB gate

opened, many more things shall fall." Thej thank Henry in their
master's name for informing him of the surrender of Newport and
Bankirk bj the Lady Yondome. They have such sure hold of the sud
towns that she may not ^Te them of riglit, if she will, and whoever
will so take them will not enjoy them. Showed them a copy of the
Pope's bull approving of the amity and confederation between the
Emperor, Henry and the King Catholic. They speak of a similar
bull, but have not produced it, and say that their ambassador in
England had a copy to show Henry. They say their ambassador
is with the Swiss, to prevent the French King from retaining them.
The Emperor and the Pope also have ambassadors there, at Charles's
instigation. Sir John Style, the bearer, will tell all the rest of the
news. Signedm

Haii. S95, f. 114. To my Lord Cardinal from Saragossa, 12 May. Among several

B. M. matters debated by Chievres and the Chancellor of Burgoyne, they

asked them to let Wolsey know that they had sure information
from France that the King and his Council deemed themselves
secure of divers estates and nobles in England. Answered
that it was not so, and that no realm in the world was more
obedient to its Prince than England. As they still held that
opinion, told them that the French had imagined this to make dis-
cord. Spinelly was informed privately by one of the secretaries that
a writing was prepared for a pension for Wolsey, and that when he
took it for Chievres to sign, he said, *' Let it alone yet ; all promises
be not kept with me." Do not believe that such '' words would
pass so wise a man's mouth, nor so cold : " however, they write as
they are informed. Have thanked Chievres for his good will to
England.

The Spanish ambassadors in England wrote to Chievres thai
Berners was bringing him a present from Henry, which, Spinelly
says, has offended the Chancellor. Advise that some memorial be
sent to each of them, as was promised them, as the Master of the
Bolls can show. They are both *' very good English," and desire
to be commended to Wolsey. Lord l^ynys, "a much sad young
man, and of his years of most reputation in the court," also desires
the same. Sir John Style, the bearer, will inform him of other
matters ; viz. of the Infant's going into Flanders ; of the meeting of
the French King and King Catholic about the borders of Guienne
** sore labored by the French ambassador and not likely to be ; of

the differing thereof ; " of the Archbishop's countenance at the said

Harl. 295, f. 108. Sir John Style, before he left the court, spoke with Chievres,

B, M. whom he " found in words not so much French as hath been said.'*

He said he knew that the intention of the French was for their own
profit, and finally to obtain what his master could not with honor
lose, and that he never would approve of a breach between hxB
master and England. The French ambassadors at the court hiv^e
made these three demands : marriage to be fulfilled on the Kin^
Catholic's behalf; restitution of Navarre to the King's son thi^^
was ; and of losses to Frenchmen by the taking of Naples. Tk^
King answered that he would accomplish the marriage at leisure—
As to Navarre, he did not know his title to it when in Flanders^*
but now, knowing it, will keep it as he is bound to do. He defeirecS
his answer to the third demand until he could debate with hi.^
council. There is also an ambassador from the pretended King (^^
Navarre, but they do not know his business. The Provoet (m^^
Cassell will come as ambassador to England, because the Kings
Catholic, fearing that the French were stirring, sent for their ainbi» —
sadors, and told them to write to their master that, if he made an;
war against him or Henry, he would resist it to the utmost of hL-:
power. Lawrence, the Pope's nephew, is gone to Florence to

fellow countryman, " civilis amicitia.** Luther is quite unknown
to him. Books on Pontifical remission, confession and penance
first came out, the publishing of which he dissuaded, as the
friends of Luther can bear witness. Gave no opinion of the sub-

154. Wrote last on the 11th May, after Sir John Stile's departure to

Bilbao, who is carrying news to England from tlie ambassadors.
The King has been triumphantly received in Saragossa in the
name of the whole of Arragon. The estates have assembled for
a benevolence to tlic King, which will probably be not less than
300,000 ducats, which, with the hot weather, will detain the court
there three months. The alliance of the Lady Eieanora with the
King of Portugal waits only the Pope's dispensation, which Spinelly
thinks will not be '* difficile," cx)nsidering the great authority money
has in this world. The match is not popular in Spain or Portugal,
Lady Margaret will not consent to La Nuca going to the Emperor.
Chievres and the Chancellor propose sending him to Rome^ re*
voking Don Louis Carroz. They also propose to send Lord
Berghes into Almayn^ aWiough ** he is not the best beloved of them^**
to secure the election^ fearing " the excessive diligence " of the
Frencliy allowing him full powers. It is desired here tliat the King
of England as well as the King of Portugal should send an am-
bassador into Almayn, as their interests depend on the event. It
is thus hoped that the Catholico^s cause will be encouraged, and
less favor sJu)wn to the French. News is come from Lord Mon^
teigny out of Flanders that the Marquis of Brandenburgh and the
Duhe of Lunenburgh had passed through Brussels to France, —
an evidence that Francis has succeeded in his practique for the
marriage of Lady Henna. This secures for him two voices in the
election, as also the Duhe of Bavarians, from hatred to the house of
Austria, Saxony is undecided owing to his discontent with the
Emperor. The Abps. of Treves and Cologne are small noblemen,
awed by the power of their great neighbor the Elector of Mayence.
Such is the danger ; nevertheless the Almayns love not the French ;
the electors and princes fear the greatness of Francis, lest he should
bring them into more subjection ; atid the going of the empire into
France, ** lest it should continue there longer than they reckon.*^

If the Marquis of Brandenburg prosecutes the marriage as prO'
posed by France, the King's youngest sister will be offered to the
nephew and heir of the Electot of Saxony, and to the County Pa^
latine, the second daughter of Portingale. This last was Spinell^s
own device. These two marriages will secure two electors iem*
poral, and successive, one of the spiritual, and so the King's desire
will be obtained, as, should the electors be divided, the King of Hun*
gary will be called in as King of Beame {Bohemia). If objection be
made to the Catholico for his absence, his brother Don Ferdinand
will be proposed. Desires his news respecting Berghes to be kept
secret, as Chievres intended to extort a promise from him not to
practise with the Emperor respecting Flanders. Don Fernando is
not yet departed. The great snip of Denmark is burned at Passage.
IVlien the King landed in Spain, Fraficis sent to desire a league
with him, offensive and defensive, and that the King of Portugal
should marry his daughter unto Don Fernando. He has also been
extremely urgent for his meeting with the Catholico, deferring for
that purpose his going into Brittany. Mons. de la Shaw is ap«
pointed to go into France and excuse the meeting. The Emperor

is about to prorogue the truce with the Venetians for five yean^ by
the hands of the French, that they may help him to get the 2,000
ducats. He is the best friend Francis has, giving him hope of
making him King of the Romans, The ambassador of Navarre
will shortly depart. The French, according to the Chancellory give
out that they received a great injury from the King Catholic,
who labored to win the Swiss, and be elected King of the Romans,
There can be no peace between the two, Next 20th of July Spinelly

cannot serve his grace under 20s, a day. Begs he may have

Knows nothing further about the deprivation of Cardinal Ha-
drian. Spares no labor or expense, and continually speaks ill of
him to the Pope, saying that he breaks faith with the King. The
Pope says he will not depart from his promise. Nothing more
18 necessary but to pronounce the decree of deprivationy which he
promised to do in the first consistory. Will not, however, believe
this till he sees it, knowing his fear of displeasing Uie car-
dinals, especially as some of them told him, that as he had par-
doned the Cardinal Hadrian, he could not deprive him further
if he came to Rome. But Wolsey should by no means aUow the
legate to pass the seOy or at least reach Canterburyy until JVor^
cester write that the deprivation has tahen placCy and Wolsey
have represented the great dishonor to the King if the Pope should
breah his promises.

Everything he could desire has been obtained for the legate*
ship in [the last] consistory ; and neither the King of France
could obtain as much for Cardinal de Busi, nor l£e Emperor
for Cardinal Gurk.* Campeggio is to be received with accus-
tomed pomp, at London or elsewhere, if the King so decree.
Within two or three days after, he is to visit the King» and pro-
nounce a general oration ; and a day or two after, present the
apostolic letters to Wolsey, by which he is joined with Campeggio
in the legation. Thenceforth they are to act in common ; nor is
Campeggio to do or [say anything] without Wolsey, who shall be
mentioned first in the commission, as the senior Cardinal. Oii the
same or the following day they are to present the letters ta the
King with due pomp. One cross is to be carried before them

and Denmark, the Duke of Albany and Richard de la Pole, bye
concluded on certain enterprises, to carry out which Mens, de
Pursel, chief counsellor of Rouen, and David Cokron, King of
heralds, have left for Scotland, to go thence to Denmark. (Tlii«
" David, herold of Denmark,** as he was going to France lately,
was taken by Jemegan, who wrote to Wolsey about him, but has
received no answer.) De la Pole is to take ship in Denmark with
the Duke of Ulske, the King of Denmark's uncle, and a certain
number of Ian cek nights, to land in England : Albany is to sail from
Brittany to Scotland, ^* there to make business against the King f
Mons. de Bourbon and the Duke of Vendome are to besiege
Tournay. All this is to be done within two or three months.
Crossene learnt this news from '^ Mr. Robert Cokborne, a Scot, and
Bp. of Ruse (Ross)," who desires a passport to England, that he may
inform Wolsey more at length what is determined. If granted, the
passport should be sent to Jernegan or to the Master of the Fellow-
ship, Mr. Hewester : it will be conveyed by Crossene. Kokborn
obtained his information from the herald : " for they are both Scots;
and the herald thought that Mr. R. K. was good French, as he
hath been before:" but something has made him discontented with
the French King. De la Pole has left the French King for Mence
in Lorain: he will go thence to Denmark. Has sent spies to Mence.
Sends a letter from one Polle, master of a ship, of Hansardame in
Holland, to a priest, Sir William, who is with De la Pole. Polle
formerly served Perkyn Warbcke, " from Edmund de la Pole and
now Richard de la Pole. If this enterprise should be put in
execution, is sorry that Wolsey and the Privy Council " hath not
given credence to our oft "writings, for the advancement of such
works as should have been great and most necessary for the saretj
of this the King's citadel." If their advice had been followed, the
" older part " of the castle would have been out of danger. To
defend it in its present condition would be attended with great loss
of men. The lack of money causes much uneasiness. Tournay,

. O. P.S. — Afterwards letters were brought from Spain, by which wo

learn that the French ambassadors who had gone to the Catholic
King had earnestly begged for a meeting between him and their
master, which is to be held at Perpignan ; and though both pretend
it is merely for an expedition against the Turks, everybody believes
it is for mischief. It has caused much astonishment, considering
the fraternal unanimity between the King of England and the King

4206. [SiL. Bp. of Worcester to Wolsey.]

. O. Wolsey's letters about the French marriage would have hindered

it if they had arrived before it was contracted, especially if he had
induced the King Catholic to make honorable offers. The Pope
would have preferred affinity with Spain ; but for many reasons,
particularly because he was imposed upon in that quarter, he was
obliged to humor his nephew Lorenzo by allowing him to contract
the marriage with France. He assures Worcester that, on account
of this marriage, he will never do any thing prejudicial to the
treaty, or in any way injurious to Henry and Wolsey, who will see
his good intentions from his briefs. The marriage will never
please those who are in the habit of weighing their interest in the
same scale with public tranquillity. Although the Pope speaks
with the best intentions, and affirms that he has no mind to satisfy
the daily immoderate demands of the French, still, as he is natu-
rally flexible, and inclined to please his nephew, there is danger of
his falling into many errors through French practices. Told him
plainly that it would be his ruin if he favored the French unduly,
and if he made any grant concerning Toumay to England's detri-
ment. Worcester and his friends all think that Henry and the
King Catholic should keep their eyes open, and not trust too much
to his words, and, before all, gain the Swiss. If this be not done,
there will be nothing to hinder the French from making a success-
ful expedition into Italy and to Naples, which are unguarded, and
quite overlooked by Chievres. The Spanish ambassador is now
urging this on his master. Wise men think it is of the greatest
importance that England should take up the matter.

4207. Chables King of Castile.

Mon-Habs., Abthfilii. Instructions of Charles of Castile to Fhilibert Naturelli, Provost
B. I. 58. Qf Utrecht, the Abbot of Ajme, and the Siear de la Chaulx, his

ambassadors in France.

Is surprised to hear from the Provost and the SiQur de la Roche-
beaucourt, the French ambassador, that Francis faias not taken in
good part the answer to his letter concerning the execution of
matters treated of at Cambraj, and the meeting of the two Kings
(la veue des deux Rots), Acknowledges that the French King is
not obliged to break with the Venetians, to carry out the treaty of
Cambraj. Will be glad to have a meeting, though not now, as he
will have to go to Catalonia and Valencia to assemble their estates.
There were three reasons that made Charles wish for the meeting :
his desire to see Francis ; the necessity of deliberating about the
Turk, which is not so pressing as it was, and the execution of the
treaty of Cambray. The first reason alone now remains, and there-
fore the meeting can be postponed to a better opportunity. If
mention is made of the Bishop of Liege and the Sieur de Sedan,
they are to say that he received them into his service at the re-
quest of Madame of Savov, seeing that Francis had dismissed
them from his. If Francis speak of Charles's sending to the
Swiss, they will say that by the treaty both Kings should have
sent together, and knowing that Francis had sent without informing
him, Charles did the same, to know what was being done there.
Does not engage the Swiss for any war with Christian princes.
If anything is said about the empire, they shall say that Charles
has more right to it than any other, being descended from a line of
Emperors, and since the present Emperor his grandfather has asked
him to stand for it If the marriage of the Lady Eleanor is spoken
of, they shall say that she will marry the King of Portugal. If
Toumay be mentioned, Charles has sent to the Emperor and the
Kings of France and England, asking them to keep the peace. If
the French ask concerning the submission of the English King,
they are to say that Henry has replied to the King Catholic that
he holds it by just and good title.

As to the 100,000 g. cr. which Charles pays yearly to Francis
for Naples, the late King only paid Lewis 50,000, and the kingdom
cannot support such a heavy charge. Makes an offer of marriage
for the Ptincess Louise. As to Navarre, and the ambassadors now
with the King, they are to say that they are well received, and will
be briefly despatched, as the King approves of a certain overture
of marriage which they have made. Word shall be sent of Charleses
determination concerning the Marshal of Navarre, on the return of
certain persons who have been sent to obtain information on the
subject. As to the Neapolitan exiles, has sent commissioners to
carry out the arrangements previously devised. They are to use
the same terms, and speak with the same *' couraige et estomacq,**
as the French King and his servants,

Charles is grieved to hear of the force assembling in France for
war with England, especially as the cause is only Toumay, a place
of so little benefit to either. Is afraid he will be drawn into the

give the Turk a good opportunity of attacking Christendom. Sends
also to the King of England to persuade him to ikeep the peace.
The Emperor or himself will act as mediators, if the quarrel be
referred to them; and if peace be continued^! an aggressive war
against the Turk can be set on foot.

The promises mode to the Queen at her entry into Scotland,
by the King of Scots under his Great Seal, and confirmed by the
three estates with the consent of Albany, viz., that she should
have her dowry, conjunct feoffment, jewels, &c., have not been
kept, but she lies in Edinburgh like a poor suitor, and all she
had of the King's gift is consumed. David Homo is fuUy deter-
mined not to let the ambassador depart till he shall either have
his remission, or the French King uses efforts with the King of
England to get a safeconduct for David and his six brothers to
come to England during two years. Would be loath to meddle
if the King thinks the French King desires to have his ambas-
sador set free, "because the said David should think that I were
greatly in his danger." If Wolsey approve of his purpose, re-
quests him to write to the Captain of Berwick that he wishes the
ambassador set free. Dacrc would then advise the Captain to send
a dozen persons to where he is in Scotland and fetch him, if Home
and he do not agree in the meantime. Assures Wolsey that the
Homes are a great expenco to him. These ways stand neither
with truth nor honesty (though there is no remedy where no truth
is kept). If Wolsey will send a wise yeoman in hermit's weed,
will convey him into Scotland, where he will see more waste done
by such means than if the King had laid a garrison of 3,000 men
there.

Wrote lately of the condition of Wark Castle. By Wolsey's help
it' is thus far set forward for the protection of the East Marches.
The King's money is spent nearly a year ago. It has cost the
King no more than 480/. If he had 220/. to make the whole up
to 700/., thinks it would be sufficient to finish it. The dungeon
is complete, with offices for a constable and forty footmen. The
overmopt house is made for keeping ordnance. The watchman
in his watch house on the top of the dungeon can see Norham
Castle and the bounds of Berwick. The dungeon is of four houses
height. In every stage there are Hve great murder holes, shot with
great vaults of stone, except one stage which is with timber, so that
great bombards can be shot from each of them. There is a well
with trapdoors, through every house, for the "heasing" up of
ordnance. The dungeon is planned with close gates going from it
from the countermore, so that in time of peace it may keep all the
castle. The castle is to bo of three walls, of which the dungeon
is one ; the second next the dungeon will have an overthwart
wall from one side of the castle to the other, and an iron gate in it
and a vault as far as the gat« goes, that an armed man may ride
in at it ; " which shall have another wall set to it for to set an
house upon, which house shall be of two stages high ; stables to bo
underneath, and chambers above;" twelve horses in a stable, and
six men in a chamber, so that there will be an accommodation for
140 men and their horses. Hall, kitchen, bakehouse, &c. to be within
the same ward with a draw well for the garrison, and room to keep
a fiock of sheep and eight score head of nowlte in the night and in
a skirmish time. The third ward has a gatehouse tower, three
houses high, nearly finished, and already covered. In the lowest
house are two great vaults, the one for the great gate where a load
of hay may enter, the other for the porter's lodge and a chamber
witliin it, *< and two stages height above the same, and at the end
of the said castle next the water of Tweed is a little tower of three
stages height." A little tower must be made at the west postern,
80 that men may come to it from the dungeon upon the counter

ward, aud receive into the dungeon whom they will for their rescoe»
" and 80 that outermost ward shall be for the town and country to
set there houses ujwn the countermore in the time of war, and shall
be able to keep 1,000 head of horses and nowlte within tlic same
ward, upon the night or skirmish time." When the castle is fiaished,
means must be taken to make the lands and fishings which laj
waste, support it in time of peace, so that the King may hare do
expence' but the wages of four gunners, as it will do more than
twice the damage to Scotland than Berwick can, with but a third
of the garrison. Thinks the King could not spend his monej
better.

If Wolsey will have some ordnance sent to Newcastle by the
cool ships in the Thames, will cause it to 1>e brought to Holj
Eland by water, and thence by land, so that when my Lord Hamil-
ton and the Treasurer of Scotland come down to the borders (as
they lie at Ekkels, two miles from Wark), and meet him at Cold-

will not like. Harbottle, 8 June. Signed.

such conduct was not conducive to good amity ; and was amwertd

An ambassador from the Marquis of Brandenburg, named Joackyn,

England." The Emperor's ambassador departed from the French
King, touching the prorogation of the truce with the Venetians for
five years. He will have 5,000 ducats from them if France deal
truly. The Duhe of Urbirty the Pope^s nephewy declares he will
be friend to friend and enemy to enemy with the French King, The

to what the King told me at Hampton, it is only to last during the
stay here of the legate Campeggio, who has arrived at Calais, and
is expected daily." He is glad to hear that the Sultan is occupied
with the Sophi. Held a long discussion with him of the Venetian
exports and imports, especially the poorness of the latter, into an
explanation of which Sebastian entered. Advises the Signory to
send the Cardinal twelve or fifteen small handsome carpets, of
which he is desirous. A French secretary and herald have ar-
rived ; to settle compensation for damages between the two nations,
as Wolsey says, and the delivery of certain fugitives from Scotland.

21 June. 4244. Spinelly to Henry VIII.

Vesp. C.I. 171. Wrote last the 8th inst. The King has heard from his am-

B. M. bassadors in England of the " depeche " made to the Provost of

Cassell. Heniy's conjecture touching the occasion of the Pope's
making the truce, is very well taken. The King will do nothing
without Henry's advice and concurrence. The legate is arrived at
Barcelona, and will be here soon. Henry's remonstrance against
the meeting with the French King is also approved. Never saw,
either in Chievres or the deceased Chancellor, " any fast ground
thereof." Chievres received this morning letters £i*om de la Shawe,
dated the 7th, at Angers, saying how he had excused his master
from the meeting with the French King, thanking him for his

10 HENRY Vin. 1315

good will ; ** howbeit the French King took such words and per-
Buaeions to the contrary, saying it was not enough to the CathoUco^
not to suffer him to be revenged against your grace, but that he
would also diminish his honor and reputation in Christendom, with
the breaking of his promise in the said matter, concluding with
many sharp words, that semblable demeanor may not long endure.''

The King will take Henry's advice concerning the Pope, and has
spoken to his ambassadors for concluding an amity between *^ you
four " and the Swiss. '^ The desease of Mr. Secretary, and con-
sequently his tarrying at London, b much displeased, howbeit they
look that he or some other hath accomplished that journey and
charge." Instructions will be sent to the Catholic ambassador
about the amitv and the marriage.

By letters of the Emperor, 28 May, the Pope had sent the Swiss
their pension. The Emperor also asks for Lord Sevenberg, Lord
Berghes' nephew, to be sent to him and the Swiss. His instruc-
tions are being drawn up. Does not know who will be sent to the
election. Chievres says that La Nuca ** is left apart for the Lady
Margaret's cause," and that Berghes is more inclined to war thaa
peace ; whereupon, remembering how well Chievres had heretofore
spoken of him, asked him if he had any new cause to complain.
He answered '' that he went about the pot with him," inferring that
he could get no definite answer to his ofiers of alliance of blood
between them. Advises Henry to help the said alliance between
Chievres' niece and Berghes' son, which will completely gain
Chievres. '^ The gentlewoman is oldest sister unto the Lord
Fiennes' wife, and not of the fairest, but she is neither blind nor
crooked." The Dean of Besan9on has taken for the present the
Chancellor*s place. His death is a great loss. He (tihe Dean?)
does nothing without the Council, and particularly the Bp. m
Burgos, who seems inclined to serve Henry. It is said the King
will place the President of Dola, subject of the Duke of Savoy^
and servant to the Archduchess, in the Chancellor's room. The
King has appointed Dr. Kaulier, who was sent by Fienes to Henry
at Calais, as President of the Council, in place of the Bailly
d'Amount^ who is dead.

Lord Mountaigne writes that he has been informed that the French
Eling has sent two barrels of money to Amsterdam for the King of
Denmark, as Chievres says, to pay 2,000 footmen for a certain
time for his war in Sweden. He thinks it may be also for ships
against the English. The King is expecting an answer to the
letters he wrote to Denmark about Henry. The Emperor also wrote
on the same subject. The French King complained to La Shaw
of fhe Catholic King's having taken Robert de la Marche and the
Bp. of Luke from his sei'vice. The Bishop was gained by a bishop-
ricky and 8,000 ducats given him by the King, to be held as
long as his service shall require. La Marche also had a pension.
Chievres is also endeavoring to gain the Duke of Gueldres, as, by
means of him and the two just mentioned, the French did great
harm to the countries beyond sea. The Bp. of Cordnba has re-
nounced his see in favor of the said Biehop, and has a pension
until Civilia, worth 15,000 ducats, is vacant.

The King Catholic's ambassador in France writes that the Duke
of UrbiHo promises to serve the French King against Spain and
all others, and ofiers to besiege Ferrara. It is probably an untrue
report. Neither the Emperor nor the electors are yet at Aug8«
burg. The temporal elector of Brandenburgh has been promised

the younger daughter of Castile for his son, in case her brother is
made King of the Romans. The Queen of Arragon is offered to
the Duke of Saxony, with 160,000 ducats of moveable goods, aod
40,000 of dower. The Earl of Maunsfelde, knight of the Toyson,
and ambassador of the Emperor, has gone into Almayn. He was
rewarded by the King with 2,000 ducats in plate, and a pension
of 500. The French ambassador hears that Don Fernando has
landed at Southampton, '' saying the King forsaketh his father for
every man, with many oultrecuydant and light words, the which
thing is not believed." The legate has been honorably received in
France, and will be so, when he comes here. The Queen of Por-
tugal will go to her husband as soon as the dispensation arriTes.

The peace between the Emperor and the Venetians is taken for
concluded. Hears that the j3uke of Savoy, after his disappoint-
ment here and in Portugal, is endeavoring to obtain the Elector
of Brandenburgh's daughter, without the means of the French
King. Lord Beaurens, son of Lord Reulx, is now second cham-
berlain, and will, it is thought, succeed Lord Chievres, when he
" lacketh." Chievres advises that the reward for the Chancellor
be divided amongst the Lord Monteigny, the Governor of Bresse
and the Audiencer. The King will marry the daughter of Hun-
gary as soon as possible. In the realm of Naples, the Duke of
Atry and the Prince of Melphy, who were heretofore knighta of
the order of France, and were restored by the King of Arragon whoi
he conquered the said realm, have been summoned to appear in
France, for the reformation of the order, ^* not admitting their resti-
tution." They have sent hither to know the King's pleasure. He
has answered that as he intends them to serve against the Turk, he
cannot allow them to leave the realm.

The Estates cannot yet agree about making their oath, wishing
to do it with a clause making it of no effect if the Queen, his
mother, return to her good wit. The King will not allow this, bat
wishes it to be as in Castile. Saragossa in Arragon, 21 June

which are not for his honor and profit. This is a very dear place.
By his oath he has possession forthwith of Arragon, Valencia,

and have promised to do what thej can. £xpects to have 1,000
bills ready against the coming of the judges, and 300 or 400 personi
to make exclamation of the Lord Dacre and Rauf Fenwick, which
persons shall justify all such bills of complaint as shall be put np.
Advises him to get Lords Darcy and Conyers joined in commission
with the King's justices to enquire about the despoils. Since thev
first sent up their bill of complaint, the country has been quiet and
no hurt done. The Bishop has won the hearts of all the countiy
by restoring it to order. ** Sir Alexander Lyndsaye is great with
Edward Graye." Has spoken to him to persuade Graye to submit
himself to the Bishop, and to show how Lord Dacre handled him.
Has written to the same effect to John Heron of Chypchesse. It
would be well to require the justices to cause Lord Dacre and his
brothers Sir Christopher and Philip Dacre to be sworn to delirer
all evidence that ever came to their hands concerning Grei's Landg^
as well those that make for the heirs general as males.

Touching Lord Lomley, no good would ensue from taking a suit
here. It would be best to send up for him. Will then send the
Bishop a book of articles against him, and if he be well handled
after his deserving, it will make him and all other hereabout to be
well ware how they do misorder themselves hereafter. Monday last
Lord Lomley caused six of his servants to cut off a poor man's ears
in Chester. Hopes he and they will be indicted for it at the next
sessions. On Monday, 21st ins t., will keep a sessions of peace at
Aukeland, where they will indite all the ** Highlands' men " who
have committed any robberies within the bishopric, and immediately
after will require the deliverance of those persons so indicted who
remain under the rule of Dacre and Fenwyk. Has ordered the
curates and baylies in towns adjoining the Highlands to proclaim
in their churches that all who have cause of complaint against the
Highlanders shall appear at Aukeland at the sessions with bills of
their grievances ; and has caused a like proclamation to be made
in all the market towns in the bishopric. Trusts in God and
St. Cuthbert that the Bishop will succeed and gain both honor aud
the hearty prayer of his country. Has found evidence to prove
that Lord Conyers, Lord Scrope, Mr. Strangways, Sir John Con-
stable of Holderness, aud others who hold lands in Alvertoushire
of the Bishop, should pay fines at their first entering. Although
they have always been required, they have not been collected eitiier
in my Lord of Winchester's time, or any time succeeding. Got
the evidence in Yorkshire, seven miles from Creke. Hopes to ?et
as good evidence to show the tenure of all freeholds in Howden
and Howdenshire.

There are now ready of the Bishop's store in Stokton 20 great
fat oxen at 20*. each, 20 smaller fat oxen at 16*., 30 fat kye
at 12*., 200 fat wethers at 2s. 4d,, which shall be sent when he
wants them. Sends the prices that he may know what they
will fetch here. When last at Norham, heard that Sir Cuthbert
Ogle had the finest pair of greyhounds in all the country, and a
cast of good falcons, and so came home that way and saw them.
The hounds are fair and large enough to pluck down the greatest
hart that ever went. Did not see the hawks, as his brother is
keeping them. He is content that the Bishop should have both
hounds and hawks, and they shall be at London within twelve days
after Midsummer. Intends to be at Howden on the Tuesday next
after Midsummer day, and the next day to be with Lord Darcy, to
whom he will tell the Bishop's pleasure concerning the letters he

10 HENRY Vm. 1321

L518.

wrote to the Bishop after the departure of the Abbot of Selbj.
Will be with the Bishop in six days after. Has found men expert
in lead mines in Swadale, who have wtoaght at their own cost in
Wardale this half year, and now have found several good veins of
lead ore. Has made a bargain with them for all they get, so that
ho will clear 22^. S^, per fother. They say that a great quanti^
will be got yearly, and are content to find sufficient sureties to give
him 40/. clear profit every year. Has had several men searching,
both of Swadale and Wfu^ale, but they never could do any good
till within this month, and if they had not fortuned to have found
the right vein, they were all fully resolved to have given it up for
ever.

Perceives by John Heron that Lord Ogle has good right to
the lands he claims in Lancashire, which he says are little worse
than 200 marks a year. John Heron made claim to them, and for
the release of his title Lord Ogle gave him a lordship adjoining
Chipches, of 40/. a year. K Lord Ogle could obtain it by the
Bishop's help, could make it sure to the Bishop and to his assigns
for ever for very little. It is a convenient time for Lord Ogle to
make suit for it, as my Lord of Derby, who was the bearer of the
gentleman now in possession, is at present at variance with him.
Nicholas Turpyn will show the Bishop the deamess of Lord Ogle's
title.

This year has been the hardest, both for rich and poor, for
many years. Hay and other store is so scant, from the continual
drought last year and the hard winter following, that most of the
cattle is dead, and the few left are so poor and weak that no one
will buy them. Thirty or forty townships have come, making a
marvellous moan because they are not able to pay their faoins, and
desiring a month's respite, till their cattle be fat and saleable. They
have faithfully promised to pay at that time, '^ and for that respite
they reckon themselves bound to pray for your lordship while (hey
live." Consulted with Thomas Tempest, Roger Lomley, Bentley,
and others of the Bishop's servants, and determined to give them
the respite. Nevertheless hopes to bring the Bishop 1,(XX)/.; and
shortly after Lammas a great part of the residue, arrearage and
new rents, shall be ready. The auditor will come about Lammas
for the declaration of his books of last year and the year before.
He was not at this receipt. Hears he has been sore sick, but is now
better. Hopes to be at the More on 4 July. If the Bishop is not
there or at London, asks that some one may be ordered to receive

Has deferred sending the above, for want of a convenient mes-
senger till now, 2dth inst. On Monday last, kept a sessions of peace,
where there was the best appearance, both of gentlemen and others,
that he has ever seen. Six hundred bills of spoils and robberies
committed within the bishopric, since the 1st year of the King's
reign, were presented, and expects to have as many more between
this and the assizes. As Thomas Tempest has written, will not
repeat what they have done. The gentlemen of the country have
done their part well at the sessions. After the sessions were over
sent a letter to Lord Dacre, of which he encloses a copy, together
with the copy of a letter he received from Sir Alexander Lyndissaye
on Monday last. £dward Grey was with him on Tuesday, and
showed him that Lord Dacre> by crafty means, caused him to be

should be taken against the ambition of Francis, as Pace stated in
his last. He leaves it to Wolsey to devise the same, and the
answer to be made to the King of Spain. All at Woodstock are
free from the sickness, but many die of it within four or five miles,
as Mr. Controller is informed. " The King's highness is not a little

making of it the King thought, " the matrimony might be con-
tracted, per verba de prcesenti, ante annos nubiles, quod legibus
repugnat ; though that his grace doth suppose that the same law
is otherwise used in matrimoniis principum quam hominum priva-
torum ; which I do not believe, knowing no reason why; and so
I showed unto his highness." He wishes Wolsey to speak to the
Duke of Norfolk in favor of Mr. Wise, the Irish gentleman, that
he may have a place in the customs at Bristol. " Wudstoke, the last

secretly with a small number of his chamber without any such
persons as should make any provision for him. His pleasure is also
that your gi*ace should command such of his wardrobe as be in
London to prepare the house for him, with such of his grace's
stuff as is in the town at London." Begs he will remind the
King of his necessities. " Wudstoke, the last of June, hora 10

[) June. 4277- Spinelly to [Henby VIII.]

p. C. 1. 174. Wrote last on the 2Ut inst. On St. John's day, the King with

r. M.*} the company mentioned in the enclosed bill, dressed in cloth of gold

a la Moresctty rode in the field with 30 trumpets and 12 atubals,
about 6 in the morning. About 8, they came to the marketplace
of this city, and played at canes, and again in the afternoon. On
St. Peter's day, the Marquises d' Astorga and de Yylla Franca held a
like feast ; and because of the cost of the preceding day the King
ordered that none should wear better than sarcenett. Hears from
the ambassador of Portugal that the dispensation for the marriage
of Lady Eleanor came on the 28th inst The King has paid above
16,000 ducats for it. The marriage will take place about the latter
end of this month.

" The said ambassador told me that by the means of the per-
suasions that their Queens shall mahe unto the King her brother^
and by other diligences thai been in their arbitre to do^ he is in
good hope the Catholico King shall marry none other but the
daughter of the King his master ; and though the Lord Chievres
shewe his total inclination to the daughter of Ungria^ considering
that here is no money to reward the mediators, / care not what I
should say thereto^ signifying unto your grace that I am credibly
informed the said King of Portugal^ for to come to his desire of the
marriage with the Lady Eleanora^ haih promised eUH>ve 40,000
ducats of rewardsy and that greater sum ne do offer for the same
of his daughter^ howbeit I understand the Catholico King hath
much fantasy and mind unto the other of Ungria^ being of high
stature and fair complexion for to bring fair generation.**

The Pope's Legate made his entry into this city on St. Peter's
even. The King met him outside the gates, and conducted him,
between himself and the Cardinal of Tortosa, to his lodging. He had
his first audience today. There is news from Oram that Barbarossa,
who was besieged in Treroysen, has fied with 100 Turks. He
caused fifteen Christian prisoners to make a hole in the wall on the
more covei^ed side, when he killed them all, and went away. They
were overtaken by 300 Spanish horseman within fifteen leagues, and
all put to death for their cruelty. The former King of Tremyaen is
now restored. He pays 14,000 ducats yearly to the King Catholic.
Don Hugo de Moncayta, his captain in the Mediterranean, has taken
a " fusta" with 80 Turks, and has retaken a ship of Nixa with 30
Christians and 40 Turks. The Bishop of Burgos says that the Duke
of Alba's son shall continue prior of St. John's, as he has before
written. The 26th inst. the King heard of his brother's arrival in
Flanders, " and of the great cheer he had in Ireland, of the mayor of
the town, when ho came for their low navigation far of Britanny."

" The Lord Hieronymo AddumOy adverse party of the Fregoisis,
the which in the French King's name have the rule of Jannes
( Genoa ), hath sent hither a secretary unto the Catholico King,
showing, without he hath some entertainment of his grace^ that he
shall be compelled to agree with his enemies; whereto he was
answered, that the King is pleased to give him or to his brother the
room of chamberlain, with \,QQO ducats of yearly pension : the which
matter comcn to the hnotoledge of the ambassador^ he went to the
court, and made a great alarm, saying by their treaty none of the
confederates might take or receive in his service the subject or
servant of the other. The King [^and] Council coldly said to him
again, that the Lord Addumo, having a lordship in the realm of
Naples, is their own subject, and that the said ambassador wrongly
did complaint^ who in conclusion had patience. And for many like

" The Lord Chievres saith to have advertized your grace of the

*^ Moreover, he declared me how within six days tliey look for La

" Item, that a French secretary^ named Villa le Boy, was gone m
England to your highness, doubting mo[cA] that the Frenchman wol
begin some new pratica for Toumay,

" Also, that the Lady Margaret wrote to have received letters from
the Emperor that your ambassador was not yet arrived unto tk
SwisserSy wherefore such business do suffer harm and incommodi^t
desirifig her to solicit it ; wherefore she demanded of Master Kmgkt
if lie hcLd commisslion"] to go thither for loch of Master Seeretaty;
who answeredy Nay : for the which cause the King and his CowicU
here been in great thoughts doubting such dilation, and the French
diligence shall not hinder your affairs with the said Svitsm,
The Lord Chievres in the King*s name desired me to write nnto
your highness that your pleasure be to send one or other inam-
tinently ; for beside Cortavilla they have sent his despatch unto the
Lord Sevenbergh,

** The prorogation of the truce between the Emperor and the
Venetians as yet take no conclusion, and as his majesty give tpords
unto the French King touching the election of the Empire it is to
be thought the same is paid of like money again. The said
Emperor was at Augsburgy and by his writing he saith that he
shall not depart from thence without have first obtained of the
electors the King Catholico his desire, I pray God it may be sOy
for many of his cojectis often do fail"

The commons, seeing that many noblemen refuse to take theoatii
as in Castile, for the sake of obtaining offices, went to the town
house, about 10,000 in number, crying ** Viva King Charles, and
die the traitors ;" at which the nobles were in great fear, and sent
to the King, beseeching him to take their oaths, only inserting a
clause that it was for the indisposition of his mother, which he
refused. He will probably gain his point in the end. Saragossa,

on his return from England, by Thomas More, who was at that time
employed upon an embassy in behalf of his sovereign and nation.
He said nothing about a letter, and only stated obiter that the book
was sent to Erasmus, but not by whom. Suspects that Pirckheimer
must have intrusted his letter to Sir Bobert Wimphild (Wingfield),
with whom Erasmus was acquainted in England. St. Jerome and
the New Testament are in the press. The lady Erasmus recom*
mended to him from Mechlin, is the sister of the person to whom
Erasmus dedicated his Enchiridumy lately printed at Strasburg.

through the town, in which the King himself, all the temporal am-
bassadors here, and other estates to the number of 24, bore the
canopy over the sacrament. On the Sunday following four pageants
on scaffolds in the market place were presented in the King's pre-
sence ; viz. '' the decollation of St. John Baptist, the authority of
the Church committed by Christ to his apostles, the Ascension and
the Day of Judgment." On Midsummer Day the King, with 2&
others, in coats and cloaks of goldsmiths' work, ran and cast canes on
horseback in the market place, after the manner of the country,
" whereas the King did very well, much praised. A fresh sight for
once or twice to behold ; but afterwai*ds nothing. As soon as the
cane is cast they fly ; whereof the French ambassador said that it
was a good game to teach men to fly. My Lord Barnes answered,
that the Frenchmen learned it well besides Guinegate, at the Jour-
ney of the Spurs." In the afternoon was a buUbaiting ; and then
forty more noblemen, richly dressed, cast canes. On St Peter's
Eve the legate from Rome was honorably brought in by the King.
They say the legate will pass to Portugal without delay. Lord
Chievres came to their lodging the last day of June, and, after some
talk, said they had received letters from Flanders from the Lady
Margaret, stating that she had heard from the Emperor that Henry
had not sent an ambassador to the Swiss, and he asked them to
write to Henry on the subject. '* It may be done according to
promise, what your grace may do herein, and what the Provost of
CasseU."*

the King Catholic. Thinks it is not unlikely. All Spain is now in
the King's hands. About 200 Turks lately landed at Naples, and
took 100 persons, among them a nobleman and his wife coming
from their marriage. The King is preparing an army against
Barbary. The Admiral of Naples will accompany it. He was not

Paris in the suito of Queen Mary, and for the services Budasus
had rendered him in overlooking his lately published work. His
services were not a gift but a fee to purchase the advocacy of
Linacre in England. Cannot regret the time he employed in

King should leave Woodstock at this time, as two persons are dead
of the sickness : more are infected, one of them a servant to a
yeoman of the Bang's guard. Tomorrow the King and Queen will
lodge at Ewelme, and not stop by the way, as the place appointed
for their lodging is infected. Very few of the household will
follow, but lodge at Wallyngton. "The Duke of Southfolke
arrived here yesternight, and this morning he did speak with me
very effectually of one the same matter which I have declared unto
your grace in time past, viz. of faithful amity to be established
between your grace and him, confirming with solemn oaths, in most
humble manner, the most faithful love and servitude that he
intendeth to use towards your grace during his life in all manner of
cases touching your honor. And he said that he doubted but little
but this thing should come to good pass if such persons did not let
it, by untrue and evil relation." Pace gave a general answer.

HarL 433. 1 293. On Friday, 23rd July 1518, 10 Hen. VIII., the Pope's legite,

B. M. Lauren tius de Canipoggio, arrived at " the Dele," beside Sandwich,

■where the Bp. of Chichester, and Lords Bergevenny and Cobham,
with a number of Kc^ntish j^cntlemen, met him, and conveyed him to
Sandwich, where he remained that night. On the next day thej
conducted him to Canterbury, where he arrived between 9 and
10 a.m., and after changing his clothes was received by all the
clergy with the mayor and aldermen, who conducted him to the
gates of Christ Church, wlierc he was received by the Abp. of Can-
terbury, the Bishop of Rochester, the Abbots of St. Augustine and
Faversham, and the Priors of Christchurch and St. Gregory, all m
ponfificalibus. After kissing the holy crucifix, he was brought
up to the high altar, the monks singing " Summse Trinitati, &c.,"
and thereupon the Archbishop said prayers over him. After
kissing certain relics, he was led to St. Thomas's shrine with thfr
anthem of St. Thomas ; which ended, he sang the collect, "Dens
pro cujus ecclesia, &c.," and then solemnly blessed the people. He
was then conducted by the Archbishop and the said lords to
St. Augustine's Abbey, where he ^as received by the Abbot and
brethren, and led up to the high altar and thence to his lodging.
The Archbishop returned to his palace with most of the lords to
dinner.

On Sunday the legate remained at St. Augustine's, and heard
high mass in the choir ; after which he had a great dinner, at
which the Archbishop and the nobles were present. After dinner
he went to Christchurch, and saw St. Thomas's shrine and other
relics, and then returned to his lodging at St. Augustine's. Early
on Monday morning, when it thundered, lightened and rained sore,
he departed with the bishops and lords, dined at Sittingboume, and
thence went to Boxley Abl)ey, where he passed the night On
Tuesday ho went to the Archbishop's place at Otford, where the
Archbishop received him, and there he remained two days ; daring
which time the Archbishop made him good and great cheer, and divers
jileasures and goodly pastimes. On the Thursday after, he went
on to Levesham, near Greenwich, where he dined with Mr. Wm.
Ilattecliff, one of the clerks of the green cloth. After dinner, about
one o'clock, he proceeded to Blackheath, and was met by the Duke of
Norfolk with a great number of lords, the Bp. of Durham pronouncing
a congratulatory oration on his coming. This done, the companj,
to the number of 2,000 horses, formed in order according to their
degrees, and proceeded towards London. The King's tent was set
up in a meadow beyond St. Thomas Watergage, wherein the legate
changed his apparel and his mule, and then went on towards London
with his cross borne before him, with " two pillers and two balaxes."
The nobles rode before him, and after him his brother, a protho-
notary, with Thomas Ilalsey, an Englishman, who is a Bishop in
Ireland. Tlie legate's servants came next, dressed all in red, and
after them the Archbishop's, clothed in one livery with red hats,
except the chaplains, to the numl>er of 200 horse«. On both sides
of the street stood the clergy of London with copes of gold,
crosses and censers. At London Bridge an oration was made to
him. The London crafts lx?g«in their order in " Gracious Strote.^in
Cheapside welcomed by the Mayor and Aldermen ; and a brief
Latin oration was delivered by Mr. Moore. At Paul's Church,
the Bps. of Lincoln and London, and all the ministers of Paal's
received him, and the Bp. of London* made a short oration ; after

24 July. 4336. ' Charles King of Castile.

D. Habs. Abtheil, Instructions for Jehan de la Sauch, the King of Castile's secrc^rvi

ii.B.i.€4. now sent to England.

De la Sauch shall have letters of credence to the Bp. of Elna, aad
shall tell him that Charles has heard, by his letters to Mens. £^
Montigny, who showed them to Madame and the Council, of t)|e '
proceedings between England and France, which consist chiefly of
three points ; viz., the marriage of the Dauphin to the English
Princess, the restitution of Tournay to PVance, and a firm alliance
between the two countries. Wolsey had informed the Bishop of
these negotiations, promised they should be for the interest of the
King Catholic, and felt sure that Francis would attempt nothing
against him in Italy ; saying that if Francis accepted the articles
he would propose concerning the King Catholic and his allies, it
would not be necessary to spend any money on the Swiss ; Charles
would then be safe on all sides, and free to attend to other business
in Africa and elsewhere. Wolsey, however, advised him to send
some one to keep the Swiss in good humor, without spending any
money, until it has been ascertained how affairs go on between
England and France.

De la Sauch is to say that Madame and the Council, seeing the
importance of these matters, have sent him to watch over their
interests in these negotiations ; that the King Catholic hns never
abandoned Henry in his treaties with France, nor allowed any
article to his prejudice, though he has been often pressed to do so :
that Francis only wishes to dissolve the friendship between him and
England, as he has so often tried to do. After having been very
desirous of a meeting, either in Flanders or Spain, he has newfound
means of putting it off. Most of the princes of the empire are
assembled at Augsburg, and the others are preparing to go there.
They are all well disposed towards the King Catholic, and he has
good hopes of obtaining the empire. These remonstrances the
ambassadors are to make use of as they think fit. Has sent a

knight of his Order to the Swiss. The Pope and Emperor hi?e
also sent to them, and Henry is bound to do the same, notwith-
standing his present negotiations. Does not wish to cause a rap-
ture between England and France, as he has always desired umtj
between Christian princes for an expedition against the Tnriu;—
only requests that nothing be concluded to his detrhnent, or against
existing treaties.

If Toumay is restored, the following stipulations, which lie
has often mentioned to his ambassadors, must be insisted on;
viz., Francis must promise not to send any garrison there; not
harbor the Emperor's rebels or exiles ; and the people of ToornAj
be bound not to receive any garrison, or harbor rebels. Wishes
that some means might be found for coming to an agreement with
Gueldres about Frieslaud. 1£ nothing better can be done, the
treaty between the King and Gueldres, of Sept. 1517, might be
renewed by means of the French ambassadors, if Gueldr^ wiQ
renounce all claims to Friesland, and restore the places which he
holds there, and pay the sum of 100,000 g. cr., according to the
said treaty. When Do la Sauch has declared the above matters
to the Bp. of Elna, they are to put them before the King and Wolsej
as seems most suitable, and report their intentions. If Wolsej
speak of the Bishop or bishopric of Toumay, or other matters in
which he cannot give him a good answer, he must feign to ignore
it, and say, in general terms, that the King and Council will show
him all possible favor. If mention is made of Wolsejr's pension,
he is to say that Madame and the Council were informed that die
King had ordered the pa3rment for the past term by letter of ex-
change, which he sent from Spain into England, and for the fa tore
no delay shall happen. Bruges, 24 July 1518. Signed: Charles,

B. M. Neufville], the French ambassador, of the activity of Wolsey in pro-

moting the alliance. Francis will send as commissioners to England,
the nobles of his privj chamber who are best acquainted with his
wishes ; sc., the Admiral of France, Lord of Bonnivet and Creve-

Br. Ep. n. S4. Need not be apprehensive of the cold in England, as they sweat

there in midwinter with their fireplaces. Has met at Basle Ant.
Pacci, the papal legate. Has been greatly afflicted more than a
month with sickness, and compelled, contrary to his wont, to call
in physicians. Pace returned, but Erasmus did not see him, as the
King sent for him to England. He is high in favor with the King
and the Cardinal. Much as he dislikes courts, Erasmus would be
glad, were he young again, to return to England. Speaks highly
of Henry's favor to learning. Katharine is not only a miracle of
learning, but is not less pious than learned. Thomas Linacre is
King's physician ; Tunstal, Master of the Bolls (a scriniis) ; More,
privy councillor ; Pace {huic pens germanus), secretary ; Mount-
joy, chamberlain of the Household ; Colet, preacher ; Stokesley,
who is well versed in the schoolmen, and intimately acquainted
with three languages, confessor (a sacris). It is a museum more
than a court. Is reconciled to Faber. The rumors about the Turk
are not credited, people have so often been deceived. Is sorry to
hear the news of Musurus and Faleotti. Faustus is dead in France,
and Ammonius in England. Basle, 7 kL Aug. 1518.

B. M. the 22nd, notifying the contents of the treaty between " your grace"

and France ; on which they sent immediately to the Emperor, the
King of Spain and their ambassador in France. They profess great
dissatisfaction at the match between the Dauphin and the Princess,
and at the proposed delivery of Toumay ; and fear this agreement
will cause the loss of Naples, and that Henry will not send an
ambassador to the Swiss as he lately promised. The governors
will not be satisfied with any assurances unless they come from the
King or Wolsey, and have sent over two persons on other pretences
to know what has passed. Is anxious to be recalled. Bruges,

lartene. The King is {greatly pleased with Worcester's diligence in

».C. 111.1291. nrgiug the deprivation of Cardinal Hadrian. He is not to suppose

because the King wrote sharply that he has lost the King's favor.
On learning the news of Hadrian's privation, the King sent a
knight of the garter to Campeggio at Calais. On the 14 July the
Legate took ship and landed at Sandwich, where he was received by
the Bishop of Chichester, Lord Burgavenny and a large company of
nobles and gentiy, and so conducted to Canterbury, where he was
met by the Archbishop, the Bishop of Rochester and the Abbot of
St. Augustine's, in the cathedral ; and after they had been sprinkled
with holy water and censed, he was conducted to his lodgings.
After resting two days at Canterbury he i)roceeded to Sittingbome
to dinner, attended by 500 horse ; from this to supper at Holy Cross
Abbey ; all expences were provided by Wolsey's arrangements. In the
morning became toKochebter, where a magnificent dinner was pro-
vided ; thence to Otford, attended all the way by the Archbishop,
a thousand horse, many in armor and gold chains. At Blackheath
he was met by the Bp. of Ely and all the ambassadors, and conducted
to a royal tent of cloth of gold, two miles distant from London,
specially erected for his reception. Here he was met by the Duke
of Norfolk, the Bps. of Durham and Lincoln, the Earl of Surrey, Lord
Admiral, the Lord Barbia ( Bergavenuy ?), the Ix»rd Dauscr (D'Arcy)
and many others. The Bp. of Durham then made an oration, and wel-
comed him to England. After he had entered the tent, he put on his
pontificals, and was conducted to London with a cavalcade of 4,000
horse. From St. George's Church to London Bridge, the way was
lined on both sides by a large concourse of friars, monks and clergy,
with gold and silver crosses, to the number of sixty, all dressed in
their copes made of cloth of gold, and singing hymns, "harmonia
l)rope modum divina; " and as the Legate passed they censed him
and sprinkled him with holy water. At the foot of the bridge were
two Bishops in pontificals, who received him, and presented him
with the n^lics of the saints to kiss. So loud were the rejoicings,
and such salvos of ai*tiilery rent the air, as if the heavens themselves
would fall. The procession extended more than two miles, and all
the streets were crammed. When he reached Cheapsido he was ..
received by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, one of whom made him
a speech ♦ » ♦ ♦

Henry would keep the alliance stiuctly, as Charles intended to do.
He said he had received information from Francis, in his own hand,
of the marriage between the Dauphin and our Princess, and of the
delivery of Tournay ; that every man talked of it, but he had never
heard u word of it out of England. Chievres stated that he had
heard the same from their ambassador in England. The Archbishop

B. M. advertized from his ambassador, resident in the French court, of the

return of Villaroi, secretary, with the conclusion, as well for the
marriage between the Dauphifi and my Lady Princess, as for
Tournay ; and moreover with the incressiment and augmentatimi
of confederation and amity, wherein the French King willeth that
his precedents treaties with the said Catholico should remain ta
this streincte (strength) and vigor ; the which he not only is minded
to keep and observe, but offereth and desired to make and renew
them, with other clauses for the weal and profit of the parties.

^•^ Touching the conditions for Tournay, the said ambassador
wrote upon the information of the French King that his bargain
is to pay for it unto your highness two hundred and eict therth
thousand crowjis of gold by 25,000 by the year. Also he hath
advertized how the French King presented him to shew the treat!/
concerning the premises, and how the Admiral of France and other
ambassadors were departed for to bring and receive the ratification;
the which things the Lord Chievres shewed me, and that whatsoever
suspicion those that would lightly believe could thahinne (tahe)
the King and his Council in no manner been minded to remove or
alter for any persuasion the special trust and confidence they have
in your grace ; and that, as for to enter with the French men into
any further bonds, they wol not do it, but remain upon such as thejf
have. The Legate that is in France hath signified unto the Popt^i
nuncio by his letters that the convetiant for Tournay is to be incon'
tinently delivered unto the Frenchmen far the sum of 264,000 cr.g.
to be paid by years as above.

French hands, sai^ng it should he their desolation^ and that all the
countries of the King*s obeisance beyond sea shall give a sum of
money for the same,

" Whereunto the CnthoUco King hath determined to desire your
highness instantly, by the means of his ambassador there, if the
conclusion be not tahen, to prorogue it for a season, promising, as
soon as the Frenchmen been out of such communications, to com-
mune with your grace in the matter ; not thinking the King and his
Council convenient, as long as the French ambassadors been in
England, to make any motion or overture. And, to the intent
your grace shall not doubt, they do dissemble with you, or that
the continuance of the charge for Tournay should be thought
moleste, they shall no make difficulty under some color to give your
highness a sum of money for the time during the prathikes, and
until the resolution ; signifying unto your grace that I am credibly
informed how it hath been spoken to give you, ft[y] way of payment
of satisfaction, a sum of 4,000 marks that the Emperor borrowed
of you ; wherefore your grace hath his obligation ; concluding
that, in case the same be minded to be discharged of Tournay, the
Lord Chiet>res shall not be so slack and respected as he was ; for
since this rumor many evil words hath particularly spoken against
him. The Bishop ofBurgus and otherprincipal Spaniards of the
Priry Council been of opinion that the King should spare nothing in
obtaining Tournay before the French King ; and if the House of
Burgoitie have it, a great corroboration of the dew amities between
you both shall ensue, and, consequently, a new enmity and grudge
between them and the said French King, wherein your grace lose
nofhifig.^*

The French had begun to rebuild a tower beyond the river of
Fontraby, Baying the ground was theirs ; but the inhabitants pulled
it down and killed some of the French. The French King has
written a very courteous letter, and a day will be fixed to decide
their disputes.

" Some saith, if the French King had totally concluded with
your grace, he would speak othencise than he d[oth~\,^*

The ambassador of Don John d'Albrayt is departed, being told
that, as Navarre is annexed to Castile, the King could not speak of
such affairs until the King be there, when it shall be attended to.
It was offered him, " if in the moan season he were minded to desire
some graciosity, that the regal crown by his natural clemency wol
look thereto, and give him good answer : howbeit he departed, and
refused a reward sent [by] the King to him." Since the King was
sworn, the estates have been reforming matters of justice. 'Jlie

words poHsed between the Cardinal and the Bishop. Afterwards met
Pace, from whom he ascertjiined the fact that the Bishop of Paris
and Villeroy hud come only to negotiate and not to ratify, and tbe
tenns were not settled. Sebastian usked him how that was possible^
as the French ambassadors had been already despatched on a mi38ion
of congratulation, and two had already arsived ? Pace told him
that these ambassadors had only been sent lo demand the hand of
the Princess ; and, on the conclusion of the articles, would be fol-
lowed by the Admiral and his colleague.

The difficulties relate to Tournay, which will, however, be Bar-
rendered on certain terms as dower. Pace told him who were the
principals in the treaty ; that nn im])erial ambassador was expected,
and that peace would be concluded in England. Asked why the
Spanish ambassador had been so busy of late, sending couriers to
and fro. Pace said it was because the King of Spain was sar-
prihied the business had not been conmiunicated to him, and wu
afraid it might prove detrimental to his interests. The Bishop of
Paris declined Selmstiau's visit, on the plea that he was occupied
with these negotiations. Has not been able to see the CardiniJ of

Vap. C. 1. 191. Wrote his last, 31 Aug, Yesterday the King had letters from

B. M. Don Hugh de Monkayta, prior of St. John of Messina, and cap-

tain of his navy, from Valencia, stating that after leaving Oram he
went to Algiers, which had become a tributary to the crown of
Spain, and had since rebelled. Here he landed with 6,000 foot and
400 horse. Next morning, after reconnoitring the town, concluded
the enterprise would be very perilous, "by reason of the great
ditches and reparations newly made," and the garrison in the town.
On their retreat, the Moors attacked them with 1,000 horse and
400 gunners, bat were driven back by the Spaniards using *^ their
morispykks," with the loss of 500 men, the Spaniards losing six
men only. As they were re-embarking, twelve of their ships were
sunk in a great storm, with all the crews on board. He is now
come to the island of Hyenyse, and finds by his muster roll that he
has lost in the storm 2,000 foot and 200 horse. Is informed by the
Bishop of Burgos that ike Council has determined to send the captain
double his loss, collecting ships and crews at Malaga, Carthagena,
Valencia and Barcelona. The object of this haste does not concern
Africa alone, but future troubles may arise in Naples and Sicily.
By the covenant of the men of war, so long as the crews are in
Barbary they have no pay : on land they live by the enemy, aboard
they have only meat and drink.

The Queen of Portugal departs before the latter end of this
month, well accompanied, "as shall appear by the bill herein
enclosed." The reward sent by the King to the two ambassadors
of Don John d'AJbret, and by them refused, was 1,000 ducats to
the principal, and 500 to the other. Toison d'Or entreats the
King of England to send his power in reference to the order to
be held at Barcelona next October. In Beam^ the King is ad"
vertisedy there daily came provisions for the war ; " wherefore it

since his accession, had obtained everything he wished, with the
exception of Tournay ; this will now be surrendered, on condition
he does not interfere with Scotland, and allows the Scotch King to
bo educated by persons free from all suspicion. So Albany will
not return to Scotland. The King of France is much annoyed at
this stipulation. Visited the Dp. of Durham, who spoke highly in
favor of Venice, which Sebastian thinks is a hint that it is included
in the peace. On asking for an audience of Cardinal Wolsey
this day, Avas told he was ill ; which Sebastian believes to be tme,
as he declined to give audience to Campeggio. His secretary spoke

with which he was very well pleased. Berners being sick in bed,
Armagh delivered his credentials alone to the Catholic King, none
being present except the Cardinal of Tortosa, who translated
into French what Ai*magh said in Latin. On his thanking the
King for refusing the interview with Francis, and for his good
oflfers " when war was in bruit towards Tournay," he answered in
French, " that his possessions was yours, and ever should be," and
to avoid suspicion he would not speak with the French. He desires
universal peace, and not a truce for five years, and will empower
his ambassador to negotiate for the same. " As your grace wi'iteth,
so saith he, that both in adversity and prosperity each of you
must take other's part." He desires to be made privy to all the
articles for the marriage of the Dauphin and the Princess, and the
surrender of Tournay, the latter of which grieves him; but Armagh
showed that peace could not be had without it. The French still
labor to gain the Swiss. The Pope's nuncio with them is much
importuned by the French ambassadors. Francis is also endea-
voring every day to have ready 6,000 [men]. Chievres, who had

vored to draw him into conversation : but he pretended to know

nothing, " declaring tliat the Cardinal of York most solely, to use
his own expression, transacted this matter with the French ambas-
sadors ; and when ho has concluded, he then calls the counseUow,
so that the King himself scarcely knows in what state matters ore."
More further assured him that no communication on this subject
was made to other ambassadors.

On visiting the Cardinal, complimented him on the peace, at
which he was pleiised, and said it had ever been his object to foster
union between the two crowns, and not, as was believed, to sow
discord. As he was going to take his leave, seeing Wolaey
indisposed, the Cardinal called him back, and said he wished
Sebastian to be present at the conclusion of the negotiation.
Sebastian thanked him, without expressing assent or otherwise,

HarL 295. fl 127. After declaring Wolsey's letter, which arrived on the 13th inst,

B. M. to the King by the Cai'dinal of Tortoso, the King changed color often,

and stood musing a good while. At length he bid Armagh send
his thanks, and say he would provide for its contents. They are
annoyed at the delivery of Tournay, and dread a breach with
Franco : therefore, they still fortify Navarre, and keep a great
army on the coast of Barbary for the defence of Naples. There ia
much talk of the French King having hired 6,000 Swiss. Very
few Spaniards ai'e called to Council. The Bishop of Burgos, and
Fonsek, his brother, of great wisdom and experience, have often
said that the Council knew not what they did. For the most part,
what they say shall be done today is not done in six days. How-
ever, Spanish matters are in good train, and the lands all in the
King's hands. There is a little jealousy and mistrust between the
Spaniards and Burgundians. No more news but what they have
written in the King's letters.

Veap. C. I. 197. Wrote his last on the 7th by the usual course. Upon the King's

B. M. letters dated 23rd Aug., Lord Berners being indisposed of the gout,

my Lord of Armogh went to the Catholico. The Bishop wished
Spindly to go with him, who declined, as he would not be left in
a corner, lest it should prejudice his influence with the court, and
injure his means of gaining intelligence. Next morning Lord
Berners' chaplain came to him, desiriug him to go to the Abp^ of
Armagh, who said he would have him in his company. On the
Bishop's aiTival, his lordship spoke "secretly with the Cardinal
of Tortosa and with the King jointly. They two went in the
corner of the chamber," leaving Spinelly with Windsor, of which
ho complains. During the interview lie conversed with the Go-

vemor of Bresse, and learned from him, Chievres, the Dean de
Bei5an9on, and others, that, notwithstanding their dislike to the
giving up of Tournay licfore the marriage, they will consent, out
of their respect for the King of England; though they are persuaded
that as soon as the French are in possession, they will swerve from
their engagement. They will not fail to send power to accept the
general peace. It is expected, however, that the Emperor will not
be fo easily persuaded thereto, as he has ratified a quinquennial
truce with the Venetians. There are many disputes between them ;
the Venetians depend on the French, and the Emperor's only study
is how to get money.

The nuncio has declared that the Pope has sent his power for
peace. In confirmation of these doubts, he has learned, by letters

from Rome and the Swiss, that the French have been urgent, for
the Pope to command his orators, resident with the Swiss, to obtain

for the French an offensive and defensive alliance ; but he had
declined it as dishonorable to other Christian princes, Tfiey had
been equally unsuccessful in their second attempt to obtain a
defensive alliance. On their request to have 6,000 of them in the
French service, the Swiss had appointed last St, Cross* day for
their answer. If this be true, as affirmed by t/ie Cardinal of Tor^
tosa, Francis has some other design than the general peace,
700 of the men " drowned " in the twelve ships on the coast of
Africa got on shore, and were made prisoners by the Moors in
Algiers. Their ransom is estimated at 35,000 ducats. Ships

Portugal departs at the end of the month. The Queen of Naples,
daughter of Ferdinand of Naples, and niece of the King of Arra-
gon, is dend. Her dowry of 10,000 ducats per annum reverts to
the crown. Her niece, the Duchess of Bari, formerly of Milan,
whose daughter is married to the King of Poland, succeeds to the
said Queen's property, valued above 300,000 ducats.

According to Chievres, they propose to make a new provision in
Almayn o/* 200,000 golden gelders, for the exchange of which they
are treating with Philip Galtcrott, whose servant hath offered to
me the scfublable, j^^^^f^iving by divers trusty reports this King shall
be elect King of the Romans." The King has given the Marquis
of Brandenburgh a coniiscation worth 30,000 ducats. He will also
have some great lordship out of the lands of the Queen of Naples.

declared in the King's letters, which Wolsey must overcome. His

no answer. Thinks his services to the noble King Edward, and to
Henry VII., at whose command he came into these parts, are not
unknown. Thei'o are those yet alive who know ]mrt of them.
Has many of the King's letters to show how well content the King
was with him. Stays in these j)arts because of sums of monev
he had lent to those who liad done the King service, and in
recovering of these sums has spent seven or eight years. Had
received a letter from Henry VIII., who had heard of the serricc
he had done his father. Although a stranger bom, he is as good
an Englishman as any. Refers him for his character to my
Lord of Ely, my Lord of St. John's, Dr. Denton, Sir William
Sidney, and Master Deputy of Calais that now is. Receives all kind
of ill-treatment for his affection to England, not because he is a
Gencways. In the beginning of the war the late King Lewis sent
him as a prisoner to Nouarne, 300 miles from Paris, where he was
kept three years, and in danger of death, had he not been helped by
the Lady of Bourbon. Is willing to come to England, and answer
all the charges brought against him. Sends a list of debts due to
him from Henry VII. His kinsmen John and Nicholas Spenell in
London certify him that his pension of 20/. is to be withheld.

B. M. is now said that the King of Castile will take the daughter of Hun-

gary. The French King has narrowly escaped being burned by a
piece of artillery which caused the death of several bystanders. My
Lady says, if the articles sent by Wolsey to the Emperor are adhered
to, all will be well; but she has received intelligence from France to a
contrary eifect. The men of war of whom he lately wrote as being
near Cologne have been before Metz in Lorraine, and put the town
in such fear, that they gave them 140,000 florins of gold : they are
paid by the Emperor for three months. It is said the Emperor is
endeavoring to get the electors to make the King of Spain Emperor.
The people here are in great fear of the delivery of Tournay,
which they think will lead to war. Mechlin, Michaelmas Day.

Catholic does the same, and certain additions are sent which seem to
be necessary, doubts not ho will do all ho can to obtain the conclasion
of the treaty. The articles must be adjusted according to the King
Catholic's and Margaret's wishes. Is pleased with the stipulation
about Toumay,-^that it shall be neutral, that Francis shall not
place any soldiers there, and that no rebels or fugitives from the

Vit.B.m.283. Intelligence has come from Rome that the French King is

B. M. attempting to corrupt the electors. ' It is not likely, however, that

the Pope will assist the French. They would cause him great
trouble. The Spaniards speak much against Francis, and are
very much inclined to favor England in the matter of Tournay.
The afiairs of the Swiss are of great moment. The King of Spain
is a young man, and governed by Chievres, who has requested
leave to return into Flanders. All think that the marriage of the
King of Portugal and the Lady Eleanor will be useful to England.
Is to tell the Cardinal that Gurck could never obtain the legate-
ship. It is true that the Emperor sent Michael Abbatis Asten to
recommend Cardinal Hadrian. The French ambassador did the
same, and spoke with Worcester on the subject.

Tesp. G I. 301. Despatched his last on 18 Sept The King Catholic after some

B. M. delay has despatched his power for the general peace, charging his

ambassadors to assent at once, in case the conclusion cannot be
deferred until the coming of the Emperor's commission. It is not
expected the French will consent, from their anxiety to win the
Swiss and their commission sent to Rome to ratify the Pope's
truce. The Emperor is indifferent to the peace. News came on
the 26th of the death of the French King's daughter, whom the
Catholico should have married. All the court rejoiced at it, ** and
many lords of Spain the same day pleed at kannys ; and these were
the exequies made for her." Chievres heard of this from the
French ambassador, who was sick in his bed. The Spanish Council
will not consent that the alliance of marriage with the second
daughter y who is only 14 months old^ be confirmed^ though a
stipulation to that effect was made in the treaty of Noyon. They
thinh it right, however, to dissemble for a season till the conclusion
of the election of Almayn, of which Chievres is certain. The
Spaniards are vexed at the delay, desiring their King should marry
the daughter of Portugal, whose father makes great offers. The
ambassadors will go with the Queen tomorrow, and return with
letters of her own hand unto the King, containing many arguments
'* that she, by fear of those that be about her brother, dare not show
him by mouth," The French are more urgent than ever for the
meeting with the Catholico ; for if he is not bound by the treaty
they desire to make sure of him, or their projects in the two points
shall clearly fail them. By the death of the Princess the Catho^
lico is quit of the money granted for Naples, and the right granted
by the marriage reverts to France. " Wherefore this may be

liitiliops were prescnit at a solemn lua^s, celcbrateJ by Wolsey with
unusuul «plendor. After ii grave oratiou by Pace, the Kiug, the
Cardinal und the French ambassadors proceeded to the high altar,
where the peace was read and swoni to, in a tone audible only to
the parties copcerned. Thinks this equivalent to cancelling the
clause against the Turks. The King and the rest then went to
dine with the Bp. of London ; his majesty returning afterwai'ds to
Durham House, in the Strand. "From thence the Cai'dinal of
York was followed by the entire company to his own dwelling,
where we sat down to a most sumptuous supper, the like of which,
I fancy, was never given either by Cleopatra or Caligula : the
whole banqueting hall being so decorated with huge vases of gold
and silver, that 1 fancied myself in the tower of Chosroes, where
that monarch caused divine honors to be paid him.

*^ After supper a mummery, consisting of twelve male and twelve
female maskers, made their appearance in the richest and most
sumptuous array possible, being all dressed alike. After per-
forming certain dances in their own fashion, they took olF their
vibors : the two leaders were the King and Queen Dowager of
France, and all the others were lords and ladies, who seated them-
selves apart from the tables, and were served with countless dishes
of confections and other delicacies. Having gratified their palates,
they then regaled their eyes and hands; large bowls, filled with
ducats and dice, being placed on the table for such as liked to
gamble : shortly after which, the supper tables being removed,
dancing commenced, und lasted until after midnight.'*

On the oth the bridal entertainments were celebrated at Green-
wich : the decorations were sumptuous. The King stood in front
of his throne: on one side was the Queen and the Queen Dowager
of France. The Princess was in front of her mother, dressed in
cloth of gold, with a cap of black velvet on her head, adorned with
many jewels. On the other side were the two legates. Tunstal
made an elegant oration ; " which being ended, the most illustrious
Princess was taken in arms, and the magnificos, the French am-
bassadors, asked the consent of the King and Queen on behalf of
each of the parties to this mairiage contract ; and botli parties
having assented, the right reverend legate, the Cardinal of York,
placed on her linger a small ring, juxta digituni puella:, but in
which a large diamond was set (supposed to have been a present from
his right reverend lordship aforesaid), and my Lord Admiral passed
it over the second joint. The bride was then blessed by the two
right reverend legates, after a long exordium from the Cardinal of
York ; every possible ceremony being observed. Mass was thou
performed by Cardmal Wolsey, in the presence of the King and all
the others, the whole of the choir being decorated with clotli of
gold, and all the court in such rich array that I never saw the like,
either hero or elsewhere." All the company then went to dinner,
the King '* receiving the ^vater for his hands from three Dukes and
a Marquis. The two Legates sate on the King*s right : on the left
were the Lord Admiral and the Bishop of Paris ; and the Dukes
of Buckingham, Norfolk and Suffolk were seated *' at the inside of
the table. The othei* two French ambassadors, the Spaniard, one
from Denmark," and the writer, with others, dined in another
chamber. *• After dinner the King and the Cardinal of York, with
the French ambassadors, betook themselves into a certain room, to
conclude some matters which remained for settlement ; and all the
rest departed." Lambeth, 5 Oct. 1518.

Harl 295. £ 126. On the 5th the Queen of Portugal left Saragossa for Portugal, and

B. M. the King Catholic went with her a day's journey. The day before,

the ambassador of Portugal came to them, " showing her departure
with good hope of further marriage to be also," and asking to recom-
mend his master to Henry. On the morning before the departure
Cliievrcs went to the French ambassador's lodging, and it is thought
a new marriage will be made with the second daughter in France,
since the first is dead. The Spaniards do not like this. Cannot
tell what will happen. " The common voice goeth, dissimuling
on both sides." It is said that Francis has posts between him and
the Swiss, and that he does not wish for universal peace. The
nuncio here has letters of the 15 Sept. from Rome, saying thit
Francis, a few days before, had sent to the Pope for confirmation
of the five years' truce, and that in the late Council none of the
electors mentioned Francis as the King of the Romans, but only
the King Catholic. The Turks are besieging a strong city in
Hungary, but all their assaults have been repulsed with loss. A
French lord and Sir Thomas Sheffield have come from Rhodes on
an embassy for reforming their religion in these parts, and to
demand a "double responcion granted at the last chapter." Do

Le Glay, N£goc. Substance of his letters, instruction, &c.

entre la :E^rallce Thanks Hesdin for having sent his other letters to Madame, and

et rAtttriche, thanks her for having recommended him to Monseigneur. Is glad

that M. de Zevemberghe has been sent as ambassador to the
[Swiss] leagues, as the French endeavor to obtain foot soldiers
from them, and he has already prevented the Swiss from forming
a treaty with the French. He ought to arrive before the French
ambassadors. The alliance between England and France cannot
last long, but the surrender of Toumay seems to portend some-
thing against the Emperor and the King ; most of the Swiss do
not believe it, as the money is not paid now, and the marriage at
such an age is doubtful. The King of England may easily be
taken in, both as regards the marriage and the money, if he trusts
so entirely to France. Has heard from Rome that the King
Catholic has offered 300,000 crs. for Toumay, and to abolish two
taxes which the English now pay in his dominions. Many are
pleased with the King's prosperity, and the voyage to Madame
Leonore to Portugal. The French are continually tiring to
deprive the house of Austria and Burgundy of their mends ;
and as they now have the English, and are under the shadow of
the Pope, if they gain the Swiss they will be able to carry out
their intentions. Asks the King to write to Rome in his behalf, as
his affiurs there suffer much from French interference. Affairs in
Wurtemberg are pacified.

Propositions made to the Swiss by the Emperor's ambassadors. —
That a universal peace is on foot for an expedition against the
Turks, and that the Swiss may join if they please, but they will not
be allowed to make a particular alliance with the French, which will
hinder the said peace. This has induced them to refuse the French.
Has heard that the King of France requires 10,000 foot. The affair
doubtful, as the French are so liberal. As he is now in alliance
with England, the Pope and the Venetians, it is to be presumed
that he needs the Swiss against the King Catholic, as they would
not fight against the Emperor, fearing the Almains too much.

Manner in which the Cardinal thinks the alliance should be pro-
posed.— That neither party should assist the enemies of the other
in wars offensive or defensive. The convention should be for at
least ten years. Each canton should be promised a pension, and

the ambassador should have ready money. It is certain that the
Swiss " de la bende Frau9oise " have promised men. — ^A copy of the

attend to Sion's affairs there. Zevemberghf should hasten his
departure.

relating to the peace, but not to the betrothal. Gives an account of
their contents. Had thought it strange that ^' the Spanish ambas-
sadors should have been present in a secret place, at a consultation
about a certain matter, held between the Cardinal of York and the
French ambassadors, and from which Cardinal Campejus was
excluded." Pretended, therefore, that he had heard it said the
Spanish ambassador '* sought to embroil matters." The Bishop
answered that the ambassador had done so, but did not succeed:
and was told if he had a commission, he was to ratify it; if not, he
should have four months to do so. Had this confirmed by Pace.
Will see Wolsey, and endeavor to hear the articles read a second
time, and leai*n also the conditions of the mari'iage and surrender of
Tournay ; " though I doubt his gratifying me, as he is a t^
reserved person, and seems to place small trust in any one."

The King has made most liberal presents to the French ambas-
sadors. To the Lord Admiral he gave a rich robe of cloth of gold,
lined with cloth of silver, made for the King*s own use ; also plate

should have been stated to the commissioners at Calais and Boulogne.
Was told that, however good that plea might be, justice had been
demanded at Bruges, and, if it were denied, the parliament of Paris
might be appealed to, Flanders being under the sovereignty of
France. Wolsey may cause these noble personages of France now
in England to write to the party here to desist. My Lady Margaret

him according to the treaty^ to the ifitent he may not listen to the
persuasions of the •French, which have continued during their
practices with England and since before the decease of the young
wife. Had heard ifi conversation with the secretary that the King
should have Tournay " by some other way if it please Crod ;^* which
words seem to him important, considering the labor of the Great
Master of France to speak with Chievres, Advises him to write
to the Bishop of Burgus, who is favorable to the English interests.
The Bishop of Helna reports favorably of the amity betwixt the
two crowns. Has not repaid the Lord Armagh 300 ducats lent by

of Vienna, when the Princess was of fit age ; the King desiring the
Cardinal, if ho failed in his promise, to excommunicate him, and
pass sentence of interdict on his kingdom. Present : the Dukes of
Norfolk and Suifolk, Bps. of Durham and Ely, Earls of Surrey and
Worcester, Dr. Tunstall, Sir Henry Mamey and Sir John Heron.
Attested by Robert Toneys and John Barett.
Lat. ( The original sealed with Wolsey^ s seal.)

16 Oct. 4505. Spinelly to Henry VIII.

esp. C. I. 204. Wrote his last on the 4th. The Catholico has heard from his

B^ M. aml)a8g<ador in England of the arrival there of the Admiral of France

with the rest of the ambassadors, and of the preparation for pub-
lishing the peace and the marriage in consequence of the business he
has with the Venetians. It is not expected that the Emperor will
ratify the peace without some express reservation of his right. This
will not be easy, considering their dependence on the French.
Spinelly proposes that the Emperor and Venetians should submit
their differences to the Kings of England and Spain; but as the Em-
peror reckons always to be the better with every man, he will not
be tractable unless the principal contracting parties give him money.
Many are sorry for the delivery of Tournay to the French, chiefly
the Flemings ; the Spaniai'ds set little by it. The Bishop of Burgos
in the name of the nobles desired the King to take no discomfort at
it, as they were ready to serve him with bodies and goods against
the Moors and the Frenchmen. Disputes relative to the treaty of
Noyon have not yet been settled. The alliance between the two
crowns will continue firm if the peace be well kept, especially in
relation to Tournay. The Great Master of France has offered
to come to Perpignan only to speak with Chievres ; '* insomuch
that I am determined to demand of him this night or tomorrow what
I shall write therein ufito your grace." Is of opinion that it refers
to the cortfirmation of their treaty of marriage, which will be
marvellously odious to the King^s subjects. The Catholico has
received letters out of Almayn that the six electors have given
their voices in his favor, and agreed to publish the same at
Franchfort on 1 Jan. next. All the sums promised them ^* hatha

dysentery. Received Latimer's notes too late. Left Basle in
feeble health. Had intended to visit England before the winter,
but is still in the hands of the surgeons. Gives an account of the
printing of the New Testament, and its present state. When he is
free from his present engagement will complete the Paraphrases.
His friend the Chancellor has died in Spain. Has an invitation

mans, but offends several at Constance (Constantienses). Had
intended to visit him this autumn, and accept the King's bounty.

25 Oct. 453L Maximilian to Wolsey.

Vit B. XX. 103. Wolfgang Preischueth has returned from England. Understandfl

B. M. Henry had delayed giving him an answer because he wrote himself

to Maximilian, and had detained him in England awaiting the Em-
peror's reply. Had already sent an answer [while] Preischueth
was in England. If Henry is still ignorant of his answer, his
letters must have been overlooked {obscuratas) in England or
Brabant, or lost, by the carelessness of the posts. Had written in
them to say that it would be advantageous for himself and the ffings
of France, Spain and England to support the Swiss in common. As
they are accustomed to bo hired for war, they might endanger the
amity between those powers if left unemployed. Henry should send
an ambassador to treat with the Emperor on the subject, who could
afterwards proceed to Switzerland and there conclude the matter.
Understands, though not directly from either of the contracting
parties, that a treaty has been concluded between the Kiags of
England and France, for (1.) the marriage between the daughter
of the King of France and a son of the King of England {sic) ;
(2.) continual peace ; (3.) an arrangement about the city of Tour-
nay. Ls glad to hear of the first two conditions ; but cannot beliere
the King has agreed to surrender Toumay on the consummation
of the marriage. Expected to have learned the truth from Preis-
chueth, but, a£^ he has had no answer, fears it will bo so. Hopes the
King will consider ihat this would be contrary to Maximili8n*8
treaty with Lewis XL in 1482, confinned by Charles VIIL,
Lewis XII. and Francis, and will ponder well the support which
Maximilian gave him in obtaining the city. Cannot suffer such
on agreement, except on condition of the perpetual neutrality of
Tournny. Hopes Wolsey will further consider that if he [can]
do [nothing] else, Maximilian will complain to the Pope, and ii
will not be creditable to Wolsey if he has been the cause of such
bad faith. Ympst, 25 Oct. mdx[viii]. Signed,

before Michaelmas last he caused inquiries to be made by his
steward and others, and they have certified that the inquisitioDS
found against him were untrue ; and, though the Bishop has not
personally viewed the lands surmised to be inclosed, he believes
the certificate correct. His steward, William Frost, *' is a sad, sub-
stantial and faithful man, and well learned in the law:** hissurvejor,

lands. Thanks him for obtaining the Bp. of Durham's oonsent in
the matter between them, and for staying the coming up of the
Lady Pickering, wife of Sir Christopher, whom Dacre wishes to
marry. She has only 40/. a year, her goods are of little value, her

unto your grace concerning her was more for love than for iny
profite, and that she is young, and that I have but one son, and am
desirous to have moo, so it may stand with the pleasure of God.*
Is grateful to Wolsey for having moved the King to stay the grant
of the stewardship of Penrith to Sir Henry Clifford, which Dacre
had asked for liis brother Sii* Christopher. It is only 5/. in the
year, and Sir Henry has from the King's lands in Yorkshire 100

esp. C. I. 214. Wrote last on the 16th. On the 18th advertised Brian Tuke by

B.M. cipher of his communications with Chievres, and his hope thai,

notwithstanding the French King's desire for a meeting with the
Catholico, affairs between Henri/ and the French as touching the
King will have such issue as was shown his grace, Chievres and
the Audiencer persist in their good opinion. As to " the confirma"
tion bf/ the Frenchmen demanded for the marriage of their daugh-
ter^ Chievres told him his master would put them off with fair
words; which Spinelly believes^ " because this second bargain wol
not have the colorate excusation of the necessity, the which the
Lord Chievres saith brought his master and council to the first,
abhorred by all the subjects of Spaiji above all other things/*

The Emperor has written promising to enter into the general
peace if the Venetians be excluded, which it is thought the French
King will not agree to ; there is some anxiety, therefore, to know
what Henry will do. As to the election of the King of the
Romans, Chievres atlirms *' with much feste and joy " that his
master has obtained it. The Fukkers have provided the sums pro-
mis(^d. The elector spiritual of Brandenburg will have for his
services to the Catholic King the first good bishopric vacant in
Castile, besides other things for his brother.

Since writing the above has spoken with Chievres. A post is
come out of Flanders with letters dated the 22nd from the Arch-
duchess, Lord Moutany and others. Chievres is dissappointed that
there is no news from England, as the French ambassador twelve
days ago published that all matters were settled to their desire, and
the Lady of Angoulesme said the same to the Spanish ambassador,
adding tliat the French lords had met with a more cordial reception
from Henry than any strangers had previously done, the King
** going privily at mumming and dancing with the Queens dowager
of France at the Admiral his lodging.*' Whether true or not, the
French are wise in publishing this.

News with regard to the election has come from the Emperor, to
the same effect as formerly. It is to be declared at Francfort in
January next, and w^ill incnrase Charles's reputation both in Italy
and Christendom. The Archduchess has written that the Duchess
of Urbin is deceased, which may well be true, as the last letters
from Rome are of the 21 Sept. If so, Chievres will procure the
marriage for his niece ; " howbeit, if the Lord Berghes wol the
])argain for his son he shall be preferred unto every man." The
Cardinal Sedunensis is in good favor, and so are many others '' that
during the competences of the goveinment were otherwise taken.
He writte the Frenchmen, notwithstanding their pursuits, have
obtained nothing with the Swyccers, and that they shall find more
difficulty than they thought."

The King will remain here 1 5 days " to see if he can set some
order to the justice, both civil and criminal ; and the CrystmaBs

liberation of the French ambassador, and to know the Queen of
Scots' meaning in the letters she \\TOte to the French King touching
her own danger and that of her son. Warns him hereafter that
in matters of weight requiring immediate answer, the King looks for
the '* execution of process according to his laws for the lawful
finding of his title and interesse, as well touching his wards as ill
other his revenues in these parties under your goyemance, wherein,
as the King's grace and his Council be credibly informed by the
officers of all his courts, such remiss dealing and colorable inTentions
be used, that neither his titles can be found, his process served for
recovering of his duties, ne yet justice ministered according to his
laws." The shame will rest upon Dacre if the Sheriff of Northum*
berland fails in his duty. As the Scots have refused to accept
the comprehension of their country in the late treaty between
England and France notified by the French ambassador, and their
truce with England soon expires, Dacre is to discoTer whether
they intend to send an ambassador to England for estaUishini;
peace or proroguing the truce. Though the French King has
promised noc to suffer Albany's return to Scotland, Dacre is to keep
watch.

substantially opened the said matters, or he would have received
an answer from the said Sang. He is not onlj to touch brieflj
the substantial points and articles committed to his charge, bat
[give] in writing the order, forms and manner, with the formal
words of the answer made to him on those points ; for by the oat-
ward declaration of such circumstances the inward mind of princes
may be discerned. Is to be more circumspect in future.

It appears by his letter that the King of Castile had decided to
send a commission to his ambassador resident in England, as one of
the principals to the league concluded between Henry and tlie
French King. Tlie commission came two days after the conclusion
was passed. Nevertheless, Henry named him in the treaty as one of

(the principal] contrahents, with provision that he might enter the
oague at any time, much against the wishes of the French. Sends

him to show unto the King ''for remembering the sundiy

and many regions and [countries in the King] of Castile's possession,
to some of which pretence of title is made by ot[her potentates], it is
to be supposed he shall have rather need of aid and assfistancej . . .
and specially for that he is bound by express article to forfeit
N[aple8] . . . if the treaty of Noyon be broken on his behalf which
is not like .... of France is dead, unless the said King will abide

unmarried till being an infant, shall come to her perfect

age." By the new treaty all the confederates are bound to require
th[e French] King to desist from invading the King of Ca^e,
should he attempt it ; and if he plead breach of the treaty of
Noyon as justifying the invasion, an [article] of this confederation
provides that all former treaties, not contrary to the confed^h
tion, shall stand ; and as the King of Castile is in possession of
Naples the treaty of Noyon is contrary to t[he] confederation. In
the treaty between England and France for the deliverance of
Tournay, a special article was made, at the instance of Henry, for
the conservation of the dominions and subjects [of the] King of
Castile.

They gave him seven very handsome Damascene carpets. Arranged

him, and said the Emperor wrote that he was well satisfied with
the union. Hears, however, that the Emperor has sent no one
to ratify it. The Cardinal added, he would in three or four days
give him the articles and letters for the Doge. He then showed
Sebastian the clause mentioned in his letter of 24 Sept., drawn

1 2 Nov. 4577. See. Giustinan to the Doge.

Giost Desp. ii. S4S. Dined with Campeggio. The Legate stated that, at the Ute

diet at Augsburg, the Catholic Kiug had been created King of the
llomans, the Duke of Saxony alone dissenting, though it is said he
will give a favorable vote at the diet to be held at Frankfort
Cam}>eggio said the preamble of the league purported that it ii
for the invasion of the Grand Turk ; that copies had been sent
to the Emperor and the Pope ; and that the former answered he
approved of the league, and would empower Charleses ambassador
to ratify it " for both one and the other." The ambassador, how^
ever, is depai*ted. He gave Sebastian information concerning the
surrender of Tournay. Campeggio was surprised that the French
anibassadoi*s deceived Sebastian about Albany's being forbidden to
return to Scotland. The clause was inserted to prevent Franci? or
Albany sending over any creature of theirs to obtain the Scotch
King's wardship. Asked whether "White Rose'* (De la Pole),
residing in France, had been dismissed. He replied, that a clause
provided that rebels should not be countenanced ; but a great person
hud told Wolsey a few days ago that Francis favored White Row
more than before, and had augmented his stipend. He also said
that Heniy was disposed to make an expedition against the Turk;
and that the Kings of England and France were to have an iuter-
view this year. Lambeth, 12 Nov. 1518.

their honorable reception, and the good disposition of the King and

by the Queen and the Duchess. The King is resolved to go to

Vesp. C. I. '219. Since writing oh 31 Oct. has heard that Charles is informei

B. M. by letters of lo Oct. from liis ambassador, that a treaty has been

formed with France, notwithstanding the efforts made by the ambis-
sador for a delay of two or three days to obtain his master's power,
which arrived the day after ; and that, althougli he was solicited to
enter into the general peace, as he considered he had not been pre-
sent at the communications, and that the Pope was in the same esse
as the Catholic King, he refused to proceed without instructions.
By letters of the 24th, it appeared that he had taken his leare^
which gave the King's Council great satisfaction.

The King, by the secretary John de la SaulchCj who left for
Flanders six days past, has ordered Lord Berghes and Mans, de
la Roche to prepare for their embassy to England. Believes they
will be commissioned not only to join the general peace, but to
inquire what trust they may have with Henry; on their being
assured of which. Spindly thinks their ?iew practices with Frame
will cease, according to the desire of all who are in auikority ;—
otherwise they will make a new treaty with France, " the which
canfiot be but prejudicial unto them and their friends, appearing
thereby mistrust amongs you two against all reason^"* If tit
French Ki?ig perceive this, he may be inclined to break the
peace, which Spinelly urges both Henry and Charles to observe as
strictly as possible.

As touching the Emperor's power, the secretary is to go in all
diligence to his majesty to get it sent to the Lord Berghes, who, if
he accept the charge, will be with Henry this Christmas. From
what Chievres has told him of the affairs between Lord Bergka

10 HENRY Vm. 1403

1618.

and hiniy thinks the alliance of his niece with the Lord Walleyn
is concluded. If this be the casCy the King's business will succeed
the better ; and Henry will be pleased^ as the Lord Berghes is
very well disposed towards hiin. The Emperor has sent his power
to the Bp. of Helna for the general peace, on condition that the Vene-
tians be excluded. The Pope's nuncio says Chievres will go to
Narbona to meet the G-rand Master of France. Yesterday, haying
dined with Chievres in company with the Bp. of Burgus, the Lord
Fonseca and the G-reat Commander of Castile, heard that the King
had in Naples 1,200 spears and 800 jenets. 600 gentlemen of the
realm wiU be tskken into wages, and 700 spears and light horses,
with 10,000 foot, sent thither, with 6,000 Swiss or Almains from
Trieste, to resist the Turks ; if not so employed, these forces will
be sent against the Moors of Africa. Saragossa, 18 Nov. 1518.

Vcsp. C. X. 2S3. The King is yet at Saragossa* The Turk is marching from Con-

B. M. stantinople to a city of his own, only sixty miles by sea from the

kingdom of Naples. Has ready 1,200 spears in Naples ; is sending
. thither 800 more, and 10,000 Spanish foot ; also 6,000 Swiss, if he
can obtain them, or Almains, to take passage at Trieste. He has in
Naples 800 genets, which he will increase to 1,500 ; and has ordered
600 spears to be put in wages, ** of the gentlemen of Naples." If
this army be not required against the Turk, it will be sent imme-
diately against thei Moors in Africa. Chievres, who told them
the news, waits letters from Henry about the delivery of Tour-
nay, and the matters between his grace and the French King.
The King here has full confidence in Henry, though he grudged a
little the delivery of Tournay. With this post they say a commis-
sion shall be sent into Flanders to enter the league with England
in the Bang Catholic's name. It is said Berghes will convey it.

leaving at Dovor most of their horses and luggage. Sent the ships
back ou the 15th, hoping they would have returned with their
baggage by Friday, but they were caught in a storm, and modi
injured, as will appear by a bill enclosed. Six of the fleet were
repaired, and returned to Calais on the 18th, but were compelled to
leave more than 140 horses behind with some of the gentlemen.

B. M. Came to Dover on the 13th, shipped as many of their horses and

stores as they could find accommodation for, and crossed to Calais
on Sunday the 14th, where they unladed the vessels the same day,
and sent them back on Monday to Dovor, hoping for their retmn
with the remainder of the horses on Thursday or Friday. Owing Ip
strong winds from the S.E. " some were perished and drowned,
some broken, and the residue sore hurt," as appears by a bill en-
closed, sent from the mayor of Dovor. Six vessels, however, were
diligently refitted, and sent over on Friday, and crossed, not without
great danger, with part of their stuff and horses : they are still
compelled to stay at Calais till the rest arrive. Request that
the Marshal of Tournay may have authority in writing to give
free passage to England to those who come from Tournay. Has
been informed of the King's wishes, but declines to act without a
warrant. Desire to know what answer Wolsey has received from
Flanders as to Mons. de Lingney's affairs, and be informed aboot
the conveyance of the King's ordnance, and what answer has been
received from the French King about the depredations committed
at sea.

Mr. Mewtys thinks Ponynges has a copy of the patent gi[ven by
Mons.] de Liugney for the castle of Mortayne, by which he is boond
to allow the King at all times to put as many Englishmen into it
as he chooses, and also deliver it up to the King when required.
My Lord Chamberlain is confident of this latter clause. They advise
Wolsey ** to call the said copy" into his hands, and send them a copy;

Left Calais for Boullajne on Saturday 27 Nov. Having been
previously informed by Mens, de la Fayette, captain of Bullajm,
that he could not lodge their whole number **\n dene howses"
without doi^er, desired Master Vaux to take a certain number of
gentlemen with him from Guisnes, and meet them at Mooterell on
Monday the 29th, whence they will proceed to St. Denis, which they
hope to reach on Saturday 4 Dec., albeit the ways be very deep and
foul. Half a mile from Boulogne they were met by the said Captain,
now Seneschal of Boullayne and Boulleneys, who conveyed them to
their lodging, where the inhabitants presented them with sheep and
fowls. At their first entry they were also met by the French King's
'* fowryers," and were told the shortent way to St. Denis was from
Abeville to Boyves (Beauvais). The Captain would accompany them
to Amyos, where they would be met by Mens, de Dorvall. Hie
Captain also eutertained them on Sunday (this day) at the castle, and
ordered the gates of the town to be always opened to them, and made
" great triumph with shooting of guns," both at their entry into the
town and to the castle. In an interview with my Lord Cluonberlain
he said the French King was much displeased at " these spoils and
robberies done by the sea upon the King's subjects," and had sent
Mens, de la V . . . into Britanny, other commissioners into Nor-
mandy and Guieune, and with two presidents of the parliament,
to attach the depredators, their abettors and all who bought any of
the stolen merchandise, and to seize their goods. He said liis
master would see that the King's subjects hod restitution, with
interest, to tlie uttermost penny, and hod written to the King with
his own hand ujjon the subject. Worcester and his fellows will
not trust this report till they see '* the effect thereof follow," and
desire to know if the report be true. From Toumay and Flanders
they hear nothing but evil bruits. Tomorrow, " the Calseye" being
so foul and deep that it is impassable, they will ride over the haven
at Boulogne, and pass by the sea side on their way to Mooterell.

B. M. Came to Moterell on the 29th, accompanied by Mons. de Fjett,

Seneschal of Boulogne, who there received letters from the French
King (a copy of which is enclosed) desiring him to detain them ft
day upon the road, as Mons. Dorvall could not meet them at Amieu
before Thursday. They accordingly agreed to spend on Tuesday,
St. Andrew's Day, at Mooterull, where many of their companj
were very ill lodged. Will ride to Abevill on Wednesday, when
the Seneschal expects to bo able to tell them the French King's
pleasure what way they shall take to Paris.

Jerningham, who arrived today, showed them the King's letter.
They questioned him upon the contents, article by article. He
replied: (1.) As to "theKiug's stuff there to be sold," that the stones
being '* hewn at a skantlyn," and for a determinate purpose, will
serve no other, and will sell for very little, unless brought by thoee
" that purpose to make up the castle." The timber, he thinks, will
sell well, but he leaves that to William Pawn, who has charge of the
matter. (2.) As to *' the avoiding of vagabonds," he has alresdj
taken such effectual measures, that there are very few remtin-
iug, and those he will avoid diligently, and without disturbance.
(3.) He will do his best in discharging such of the garrison as he
shall think necessary, but thinks they should have more than ft
month's pay, over and above their wages, having been accustomed
to make that allowance to those who left the sei*vice voluntarily, vxA
seeing that many of them have wives and children; hopes, however,

10 HENRY Vm. 1411

1518.

that the town will be given up without murmur. (4.) As to the
artillery, powder, &c. '' that i[f it] be the salve condute come out
of Flanders," so that it maj be conLveyed] by water," all things are
ready for their carriage; but if the safeconduct be not obtained
they cannot be conveyed by land this winter. (5.) As to the
money owing to the King by the citizfins of Tournay, which
was to be paid in ten years, half has been paid in the last five
years, and " half [remains] to be paid in five years to come ;
howbeit, of the v[ery] sum and days of payment, he could not
now a[Bcertain us, but] by his next letters he woU not fail to
ascert[ain us] of everything." According to the King's plea-
sure, he has spoken to the citizens, to induce them to pay the
remainder before the delivery of the town, and thinks they will do
it, *' they would so fain be in the French King's hands." He will
make known their answer to the ambassadors, that they may ac-
complish the King's pleasure. He has also demanded the rent due
from the city, to the day of deliverance, including one year's rent,
" which the King was content to forbear, and in part allow them,
for pulling down of the houses where, the castle is builded," of
which part is paid and part unpaid. In all which matters the
ambassador have advised him to write to Wolsey. (6.) He under-
stands Mons. de LiDgney will neither go over to the King's grace,
nor deliver the castle willingly ; ** and sith the King left building
of the castle, he hath made more diligence in fortefying of the same
than he did before ; for he hath had continually five or six score
trowels working every day, and hath pulled down much part of
the village round about it, for strengthening of the same." The
ambassadors consider Jemingham deserves the thanks of the King
and Wolsey for the manner in which he has handled this business,
and recommend the latter to write him " a good letter " to encou^
rage him. Montreuil, 30 Nov. Signed.

there were fresh negotiations on foot for a marriage between the
Catholic King and the King of PortugaFa daughter ; and that
Charles had sent troops to Naples on account of the Turks. Sebas*

B. M. Came to Abeviil on Wednesday, 1 Dec, where they were wel-

comed by the Bishop of Amiens, on to Mons. de Peanys, with " the
vewe dame," and many others. He excused his father's absence,
on account of his age and infirmity. They were also met by the
Governor of the castle, with a body of horse, and then by the
mayor and merchants of the town, who gave them three puncheons
of wine. Were asked by the Bishop to supper, at his father's
house, '* where the old father, a very impotent old man, having no
more use of reason than a child, met us in his gallery, and made
us a right great supper.'* The Bishop told them it was the French
King's pleasure they should remain in the town the Thursday
following, as Mons. Dorvall could not reach Amiens till the evening
of that same day, and his train would occupy so much room that
the "founyours" could not provide accommodation for them in
less than a day, and would have to divide the town into two parts
for the English and French retinues.

On Friday the 3rd left Abbeville, and came to Amiens, bnt
were not met, as appointed, by Mons. Dorvall and the Bp. of
Castom, nor by the mayor and citizens, who excused themselres
by saying that the English had arrived too soon. The fact i^
Dorvall Avent hawking, and was not ready for his appointment.
Received from the burgesses '* great cai-ps, great pikes, troots.
barbels, cravessys, and great eels, [and] four puncheons of wine."

On Sunday the 5th left Amicnx, and divided their company, for
strnitnt'ss of lodging. The Loid ChaniborliLin, the Bishop of Ely
and some others went to Bruttoylle ; St. John's and Master Taux,
by Montdidier ; Dorvall and the Bifhoji, by anotlier way. Have »p-
jraintcd to meet on Tuesday, at Senlis, where they will be compelled
to stay two or three days, as tlie King docs not wish them to enter
Paris Ijeforo Saturday. He is gone hunting ten or twelve leagues
Iwyond Paris, and the Queen, with his mother, is at Boya de Vin-
cent. On Tuesday they met at Senlis. It is the King's wish that
they should remain there all the next day, because it is Our Lady's
Day, " and not convenient for any nobleman to travel that day."
On Thursday they go to St. Denis ; on Friday they enter Paris,
and ou Saturday expect their first audience. Wish to know
whether the gentlemen " that bo not appointed to go with rmyl
Lord of Ely to see the Dolphyn nre to wait upon my Lord
Chafmberlain] to Tournay or tnke the strnight way home," Havo
written about this before, as also about Mons. dc Ligney and the

Dorvnil then took the Chamberlain aside, and asked him as to tho
disposition of Lord Lingney touching the sun'ender of Mortaygne,
OS "there was a rumor that he would not give up possession peace-
ably, and that tho soldiers would not go out without large sums of
money. " Whei'cunto my Lord ChamlH-'rlain, as ho said, made
answer that as touching Mons. de Lingney he knew not as yet, bat
he would be content to do therein according to the King's pleasure,"
and the garrison likewise : on which Dorvalt answered that hJs
master would lend aid to comiiel him, and Iiad already garrisoned
the frontiers fur that ]iurpose. Tho Chamberlain said the King
his master would advertise the Frencli King if he needed his aid
and counsel in the matter. TJiey are anxious to have fuller in-

Lingney's intention and tlie gairison's, and the King of Castile's

Left Amiens on the 5th. Cleremont, 6 Dec.

P.S. added by West — The above letter was to have been sent
from Cleremont by Master Carew's servant ; " but when it came tD
be signed by my Lord Chamberlain, because in the matter that wis
in privy communication between him [and] Mons. Doryall, we all

then being present in the house and n[otJ d thereto^ I

would not write precisely as he reported it [to me], but added these

words : ''As he saith

Chamberlain that made the report to us as [would in

no]wise sign this letter, but write the said privy communication

was greatly displeased with me ; albeit we were all

agreed, [when we were at] Amiens, that the said privy commiini-
cation should be written under [that] manner." The same method
had been adopted in a letter sent to Wolsey from Boulogne, con-
taining a private communication between the Chamberlain and
Mons. de Fyeatt. Thinks that this is the only way by which he
can set his hand to a mere report. This is the reason he did not
write from Cleremont, as did my Lord Chamberlain. The gentle-
men of the retinue behave remarkably well, "as well for their
goodly decking and good ord as for their goodly de-
meanor." This day in the town an Observant Friar preached a
sermon setting them up as an example to all the nobles of France.

the monastery of Scone upon his brother, to hold with another
monastery in Cassena, although the Lateran Council forbids the
conferring of such monasteries in eammendamj and Alexander was
otherwise incapable ; *' quia in seditionibus ac bello interfuit ;" as
the Pope trusted he would thenceforward be more tractable, re-
sign the priory and restore the fruits without further delay. Has

looking Spain, Ireland and the Western Isles, and needs a powerful
prior to resist the incursions of pirates. It is necessary that the
prior should reside, and be acceptable to the King. For these
reasons Alex. Stewart was nominated ; and, notwithstanding the
opposition of the Cardinal of Crotona, the safety of the kingdom
requires his appointment The three Estates have warned Albany
not to allow such an indignity to be offered to the kingdom under
his government Alexander would willingly resign the priory if
the Council would permit him, and when the bulls for Scone are
obtained it will doubtless be resigned. Requests that the censures
of the Cardinal of Crotona may be withdrawn. Desires credence

closed roun<l alxiut witli rails, the King himself sut in a chair
raised four ste|)s from the ground under a rich cloth of estate
with a pall of cloth of gold and a <|uyBsheii of the same under hie
feet." They delivered their instructious. After the speech of the
Ixird Chnmlicrlaiu, the King withdrew to another cliain1>er, and
expressed his great snlisfactiun at the jKince and Henry's cordiality ;
'■ liiiid he would never enterprise ony [great matter but he] would
first make his grace privy onto it, and in ma[uuer bo ruled] atWr
his counsel in the stime ; trusting Ihat his grace would do likewise
with him; and that as now and from henceforth he would repute
himself and his subjects as Englishmen, and the King's grace our
master and his subjects as Frenchmen; and, tlint it might so appear,
ho would endeavor himself to learn English." Whenever he and his
highiK^ss mi^t, he hopes the amity will be still closer. On my Lord
Chamherluin delivering the King's letters, " wrytten a part with his
owne hand," he kisst-d them " witli due iwerence," and wlien he had
rend them, put them in his hosoni, " saying that he had ail the letters
that ever his giace liad sent him in his own custody nnd keeping,
and that he would in like manner keep the same letters himself."

robberies done since the conclusion of the peace, and for the nomi-
nation of the hostages to be sent by the French King, previoasly to
the delivery of Tournay. The others withdrew for a short time to
deliberate ; on returning, the Chancellor informed them the Ein^
their master, was sore displeased at the depredations, and had lent
down to Normandy, Gascony, Britanny and Guienne special com*
missioners to inquire and make redress, but had not yet recei?ed
any answer from them. If they were Frenchmen and could be taken,
redress should be had. He imderstood three or four French ehips
had been lately robbed by the English. As to hostages he named
five, of whom two were in England already. From the terms of the
Chancellor's reply the ambassadors thought little diligence had been
shown by the French to afford redress, and asked for a determintte
answer without an *' if and an ;" also that as to the hostages tbej
would put a good number of names in writing that the King might
select four or six.

On this Villeroy said only four had ever been proposed, and
was supported by the Admiral and the Bp. of Paris. The English
replied, four might be sufficient, if of such value as should con-
tent the King ; and promised, on receiving the names of those
who had been robbed by the English, and of those by whom it
was done, to write immediately for redress. On this head the
French expressed themselves satisfied, and promised to make restitu-
tion in the same way. With regard to the hostages, five names were
given in, which they at last consented to increase to six. Tuesday
the 14th was named for the confirmation of the amity, and Thursday
the 16th for the spousals. On Tuesday at ten they were sent for to
Turnelles, where the King lay. ''And when [we] came abnost
there he came out himself, his .... going before him in company
with the King's g[uard] and other, and after them the guard of

Swiss then followed the 200 pensionary and every

Mr. Vaux. And after them followed the Duke of Farrar, the
Great Master, and divers other great men."

They proceeded to the great church of Our Lady, where the
Scotch guai'd " kept the room." After mass sung by the Cardinal
Boysy " the Legate came to the high altar, and gave solemn bene-
diction and plenary indulgence, which was published by the Bp. of
Paris;" the form of which the ambassadors could not foUow. "And
after that the King called us to him, and came out of his travera op
to the high altar upon the overmast step ; and there he solemnly
gave his oath, a cardinal holding the mass book to him, and the
Legate standuig before him ; and after that he signed the same oath
witli bis hand, and required notaries accordingly. And then the
Legate said to him, * Sir, ye have done a noble act ;' to which he
answered, * By my faith I have done it with good heart and good
will.' " After Te Deum they dined with the King and Cardinal at
the Bishop's palace, and supped that night with Mons. Bourbon,
where they had " an excellent feast with goodly disguisings." On
Wednesday the 15th they were brought to the Queen, and after-

B. M. them to the King next day, in presence of the Cardinal, Chienes

and the Chancellor. At the Cardinal's request they also delivered
the articles of the treaty, but could get no answer till the let of
this month, when Chievres, the Marquis of Brandenburgh, Lord
Fynes, the Governor of Brest and the Chief Secretary dio^ with
Armugh. The Cardinal >vas absent, from indisposition ; but in the
afternoon the Chancellor came and told them that the King follj
approved of the treaty and would enter into it. The Pope had
authorized Campeggio to accept the treaty if the Emperor and the
King Catholic did the like ; but the Bp. of EIna had hesitated, fxntf
lor want of authority, and afterwards because he was only com-
missioned to treaty not to enter af^er conclusion taken. The Council
had delayed their answer five or six days, until they should heir
from the Pope and Emperor, whom they had urged to join. The
ambas.sadors have since been informed by the Chancellor, Bp. of
Badayous and the Chief Secretary of the Pope's adhesion.

Their next audience was by appointment on the 12th, in presence
of the Bishop, the Governor of Brest, the Chancellor, the Cardinal
and Chievres, when they were again assured of the King's dete^
miuation to enter the treaty, and send some honorable person to
England, whom the King would name when he heard from the
Archduchess. On their insisting next day to know from Chievrea
who it was, he told them the King had ordered the Archduchess to
appoint Berghes and Mons. dc la Boche, but if the former shonld
decline on account of age or indisposition, the Bayly of Henego
should go in his stead. To their inquiry who was to be the resident
ambassador, he said three names were mentioned, the Comeudador
Kyntanclys, Dego de Lagulla and a Comendador of Mendoasa, who
was the late King*s ambassador in Italy. Hope to notify their
decision by next post. Chievres has promised to urge Charles to
write himself. This done, the ambassadors will return, leaving Sir
Thomas Spinelly in Spain as commanded.

Had explained to the King and Council the advantages they wonld
derive from the treaty, especially if the French King attempted any-
thing against them under color of the treaty of Noyon, which they
admitted ; nevertheless they perceive negotiations are set on foot for
a meeting between the Gi"and Master of France and Chievres. The
latter ex|)ects by next post to know the day and place, and assoree
them nothing shall 1>e done against England; but that, as Henry has
found means to be at peace with his neighbours, they mean to do
the like. Probably as the treaty of Noyon is extinct in the prin-
cipal points by the death of the French daughter, the object is to
confirm the marriage with the second daughter, and settle some
demands of the French King upon Navarre in the name of Don
John D'Albret. The King and his Council will not scruple to give
compensation, but if it bo referred to the councillors of Spain they
will not readily agree to it. Had shown the King the copy of the

much as ho knew, and whenever hu could hear of a post going.
Since the old Chancellor's death, had only been able to commu-
nicate witli Chievres, who f^ave him short and general answers.
The Council have been occupied with many cau.^es " requiring no
small sums of money;" and though friendly answers have been
given, " it was with delays, so that the effect come not in his place,
nor served otherwhile to our purpose, — as of Tournay, never a
deal. Of this treaty, too phort and not in time." The marriage of
Lady Eleanor, the sums of money sent to the Emperor and
electors, and the anny for the defence of Naples, have created
greitt oxpence, and delayed their business: the chief obstM^le has
been tho courts of Arragon, " infinite, and, as I suppose, without
end," though the King is there in person twice or thrice a week.
" By tlic finishing of which conrts the King should have of Ar-
ragon of ready money 200,000 ducats, as much in Catalonia, and
like in Valencia ; and no court finished no penny."

The realm is divided into four "brochys," viz., tUo spiritualty,
tho lords teiii]K)ral, the universities, " whom we call the towns,"
and the people. " Of all these the moHt part tic Agarenes, and
in mine opinion finally shall be so all and sundiy, exeejit the great
help of God for the Christen people;" for most of the lords will
have no other tenants but Moors and Agai-enes, from whom they
can exact imposltionn that no Christians would submit to. When
a measure has been agreed to by these four " bracliys," " it is good
and toketh effect, thougli it wai' with good cral't and policy; not
at once, but first by the commonalty, and after by one and other,
and all with much difficulty." Tlircc parts of these " brachya "
" condescend to justice, and would have it iu execution (for yet
here is none at all, — every hour murder and robbery without
punishment) ; the fourtli part, which is the lords and nobles, woll
in no wise agree to justice, or have executors of the samc^ seeing
all mischief here is done by them and theirs," many of them being
possessed of all their lands by robbery. So that there is likely
to he no end of thei;e courts, unless justice be sot apai-t. Armagh

On the 1 1th, Francis came to Paris in great state, and lodged at the
palace. Next day he gave public audience to the Engli^ ambas-
sadors in a very handsome hall. In the hall was a platform, at the
extremity of which was a tribunal with an ascent of three steps.
The French King sat on a chair covered with cloth of gold, sur-
mounted by an ample canopy of gold brocade, having a cushion
of cloth of gold at his feet. He was dressed in a robe of cloth of
silver, figured with beautiful fiowers, the lining being of Spanish
herons' featbei's. His doublet wjis of very costly cloth of gold. He
wore no crown ; only his usual cloth cap. On the King's right was
the Legate Santa Maria in Porticu, under a canopy of cloth of gold.
Next sat the King of Navarre and the nobles. On the left were
Cardinals Boissi, Bourgcs, Yendome and Aracfeli, the Papal nuncio^
the ambassadors, the Chancellor (Anth. du Prat), and a crowd of
bishops. About the chair stood the Lord Steward (GouflBier de
Boissi), his brother the Admiral, and others. No one "wore any
material less costly than silk." The ceremony was viewed by the
Queen and other ladies from behind blinds. At the other end of the
hall there was another platfonn, which held all the ladies of the
Court. After all were seated, the English ambassadors made their
appearance, escorted by Mons. de Vendome, the Bp. of Toulouse,
the Great Bastard of vSavoy and Mons. de Chatillon.

When they had reached the middle of the platform and made the
due obeisance, the King descended the steps, and embraced them
with his usual aifability. They presented their letters of credence,
and Francis caused them to be seated in front of him, on a bench
across the platform. "The Lord Chamberlain was dressed in a
vest of crimson satin, lined with sables, and there was a richly
jewelled pendant in his cap. The Bishop wore his rochet. My
Lord of St. John's had a vest of black satin, and that of the captain
of Guisnes was of cloth of gold, lined witli sablcb." Near the am-
bassadors were about twenty English gentlemen, superbly dressed.
When they were seated the King gave the letters to the Grand
Chancellor. They were read in a low tone, and then the Chan-
ceUor asked (in Latin) the ambassadors to state the object of their
mission. Thereui)on the Bishop of Ely delivered an oration, to
which the Chancellor answered. At the close of the discourse the
King talked familiarly with them ; and " before dismissing them,
embraced all their gentlemen, in acknowledgment of a similar com*

pliment paid by the King of England to the French courtiers at
Greenwich.'*

On the 14th the King went to the church of Notre Dame." ** The
ambassadors were in pompous array ; and all the English gentle-
men wore most massive gold chains." Cardinal Boissi chanted
high mass ; then the King swore to observe the articles agreed
to in P^ngland, and ratified them with his sign manual. Then he
and the ambassadors went to dine with the Bishop of Paris, *' who
gave them a stately banquet served solely on gold plate. The
supper given them by Mons. do Bourbon was equally sumptuous,
and they were yet at table after midnight ; so that the King
lavishes all possible caresses on these Englishmen." On the 16th
the ambassadors visited the Queen, who gave her consent to the
marriage.

Yesti'rday the King went boar and stag hunting with a number
of the Einglish gentlemen : he is expected to return this evening.
On Sunday he will give a most splendid l)anquet ; and on Monday
the jousts will commence. Paris, 17 Dec. 1518.

B. M. On Tuesday the 14th received Wolsey's, dated at his place beside

Westminster, the 8th, complaining of the untowardness of Mons. de
Lingney, and sending them the copy of the second letters lately
directed to him. They trust if he continue obstinate he will be re-
moved by consent of both princes ; but think it will be better if the
French King's assistance be not required. The letters of safeconduct
for the King's ordnance extend only to those that have the convey-
ance of it, not to those appointed by the King to deliver the city.
Wolsey's former letters, enclosing copies of the French King's, did
not arrive till after those of the 8th. Have used all diligence, but
can get no determinate answer, for the merchants only delivered
their books of complaint on Thursday and Friday, the 16th and 17th.

according to Wolsey'a advice, delay the delivery of Toumay, without

putting them iu auj mistrust or suspicion. Have received the two
patents of confirmations reformed ; also the order taken for the eoa*
duct money and the rate for the payment of the garrison of Touruij,
over and above the amount due at their leaving. The garrison are
so much in debt that tlieir wages and conduct will not defray them
of the town. To prevent mutiny, therefore, the writers suggest

"that the said month's wages o[r] above their duty"

should be paid there, and tlieir co[nduct] money at Dover. .

Think the instructions given to the conmiissaries of Dover and
Sandwich " substantial and good, so that they be kept secret" from the
soldiers. Have had great difficulty in getting the French to name
more than four hostages. They allege that it was covenanted apart
the hostages should not be known as such, but should pass for ser-
vants of the Queen ; and some of the nobles are much displeased that
the fact is published, ^'specially they that love not my lady the King^t
mother." The English I'eply that it was not divulged by them.
They had named six in writing. " The Great Master, with the

Admiral his brotlier, have the same with their -*

own hands, affirming in every behalf to the intent

the King of the same [shall] choose four." They refused to increase
the numixT ; but the King's mother hopes England will be content;
tliat, if Henry refuse, great clamor will arise to their dishonor.
The Admiral showed my Lord Chamberlain and my Lord of Elj
that the Chancellor *^ toke him up," the first day on their appearing
at the Council, for not fulfilling his instructions. The writers think
these noblemen may be trusted, and that the King of France is in
earnest. Paris, 18 Dec. Signed.

Galig. D. VII. 57. Visited the Queen on the 15th at tlie court. Presented the King's

B. M. letters to her and the King's mother, as before stated. The King

sent for him whilst the rest of the company were talking ; to whom
Ely delivered his letters, and expressed the satisfaction Wolsey had,
at the trust reiK)sed in liim, and that he believed such restitution
would be made for the robberies done that the King of England
should 1)0 siitislied. This was straitly urged. Said further, that the
Cardinal would advertize the French King of whatever derogated
from his honor or tlie good of his kingdom. He replied that the Car*
dinal was " a man ordained of God for the common w[eal,] and that
ever principally ye intended the same." He considered his hooor
pawned to make satisfaction, and as to the Cardinal's plain writing
\m would always take it in good part. We^t then delivered him the
Cardinal's resignation of Touniay witliout any reservation, notwith-
standing the great expence he had incurred in procuring bulls and
• defending his rights. After leaving he moved the Admiral and the
Bishop of Paris, as of himself, "tliat albeit ye would take nothing for
your saifd resignation], yet I thought it was convenient [tliat the

French King] for his honor should by some other mefans]

. . upon you for the same, as by sending you 8[omeJ new year's gift
or other present, wherein ye should take great kindness." ' They as-
sured him that the King intended the Cardinal "a marvellous greater
present.'* What it should be Ely could not discover; and on their
desiring " to know what would best content you, I answered I could
not tell, but I supposed that it was most convenient to send pa
goodly plate or some other rich jewels." They expressed great dis-

On 22 Dec. the banquet was held in the Bastille. Tho Urge
Bpace in its centre Avas t<(juared, and floored with timber, three
p;alleries bein;r raised all round, one above tho other ; the whole
being covered in with an awning of blue canvas, well waxed, which
prevented the rain from ]KMu>trating. The canvas was painted to
reprc.'^ent the lieavens, and Latin and French mottoes were sns-
pended alK)ut th(> hnll. White and tawny cloth was hung under
the galleries, and the floor was carpeted with the t>ame. There wm
an immense number of torches in sconces and in chandeliers, each
torch weighing three pounds, throwing ** a marvellous blaze of light
on the starry ceiling." In the four corners of tho hall were cop-
boards filled with gold and silver vases. The platform was over-
hung by a bower of evergreens. "Tables were placed at the
extremity of the platform, and down the sides, the guests beiog
seated inside.** Below the platform were two tables, extending the
whole length of the place, at which gentlemen of the English
embassy and Frenchmen were seated alternately with ladies. The
company danced to trumpets and fifes till the third hour of the
night. Then supper commenced, which lasted two hours, and con*
bisted of nine courses : each course was announced by a flourish
of trumpets. AfYcr 8upj)er several companies of maskers made
their appearance, amongst them the King. Then came a coUation
of confections, served by ladies dressed in the Italian fashion,
chief among whom were the daughters of Galeazzo Visconti ; and
by degrees the company dispersed. The Queen and Madame
Louise viewed the whole of the sight from one of tho galleries
near the King's dais,
lb. 2. On 23 Dec. 1518 a flne touniament took place at the- Bastille

in Paris, the King and twenty-four aids beuig on one side, and
Mons. do S. Pol and twenty-four on the other. They fought with
bright swords without edges. In tho evening thirty young Uulie*
api>eared, and danced with these lords ; and at tho second hour of
the night tables were set for 2oOi>ersons. The site was approached
hy a long street covered over with evergreens and ornaments. In the
courtyard of the castle a handsome building had been erected, with
three tiers of bnlconies for the spectators. In the building wis
a platfonn, on Avhieh was a dais of cloth of gold for tho King ; and
around it were celestial signs cut in pasteboard, and 600 torches^
There were four cupboards piled with gold and silver. The
Queen and Madame Louise looked on from their balcony. After
dancing, tables were placed on the ])latform, and water presented to
the King for his hands. Ladies sat between the gentlemen. The
viands appeared on large dishes emitting fli*e and flames ; they were
preceded by eight trumiwters, the archers of tho bodyguard, five
hemlds, the eight seneschals in ordinary of the household, and mj
Lord Steward. Tho King's viands were borne by 24 pages of
honor ; the rest, for those not on the platfonn, being borne br
200 archers. Supper ended, the music and masking conunenced :
after which the ladies served the gentlemen with silver dishes foil
of confections. Thus ended the entertainment, which, with
the presents given to the ambassadors, has cost upwards of 450,000
crowns.

E. 0» Received on the 21 Dee., by this bearer, White, the King's letter

doted Greenwich, 25 Nov., dei-iring to be informed of the truth of
certain alleged riots in Northumberland, and unlawful assemblies
ill Tvndalo and Riddesdale, in which certain malefactors in the
custody of Dncre's servants were rescued. Considering that it
Imrders up<m Scotland, thinks the rule of Northumberland not far
out of frame, except upon certain jxiints. Sent Wolsey the names
of the maintaiuers "nt my Inst Wing above.'* Encloses another
bill of the same. They ahould be summoned before the Star Cham-
ber and fine<I. It is true he had arrested ten of tlie prineipnl
thieves among the litgblandsmeii of Riddesdnle, and sent them to
Rothhury Yate, in the custody of eighty of his tenants ; and that,
nevertheless, the said highlniidsmcn " had such espial, and kept
themself secret and close, and at a strait [with met my said tenaots
and killed my bailiff of Mor)>eth, and took the gaoler and other four
l>ersoiis with him, and had them into Scotland." Has compliuned
to the warden and to the lords of Scotland, and hopes to have
redress. Twenty- two have fled into Scotland, — the remainder else-
where. There are no other disturhanccs, Thomas Pott, the
principal man, for whom the insurrection was made, remained in
Dacre's custody, where he had been awaiting an examination and
has been executed. Harbottle, 23 Dec. Signed.

23 Dec 4678. Philibert Naturelli, Provost of Utrecht, to the King

entre la France
et TAntriche, Received on the 20th his letters of the 18th from Bnisselsf, in-

iL 179. structing him to inquire lK)th of the French and of the English in

what manner Toumay is to be surrendered. Since the arrival of
the English, has not failed to be present at all their solemnities
and ceremonies, notwithstanding an attack of gout. The ratifi-
cation of the treaty and alliance took place on Tuesday, 14 inst, st
the church of Notre Dame, Paris, with great solemnity and pomp.
After receiving his letters, sent for Robertet, as he was too un-
well to attend promptly to the instructions contained, and told him
the contents. The next day ho returned, to tell the Provost thit
the King did not intend to use force to recover Toumay, but to
hold it as his predecessors had done. As to Mortaigne, if I>e Ligoes
made any objections, he felt sure that the King of England would
do as ho promised. Yesterday the festivities closed with a sump-
tuous banquet to the English ambassadors. This morning, being
unable to leave his chamber, sent his secretary to the Great Cham-
l)erlain of England, chief of the embassy, to declare to him the
contents of the King's letters, and received for answer that the
King of England would not allow any treaty to pi*oceed with France
to the prejudice of the King Catholic, nor derogate from his treaties
with him, but include him as the chief of his allies; as to Tournav,
England had promised it to the French King, and would hold it
for him ; as to Mortaigne, it was well known that it belonged to
Tournay, and that De Lignes had Iwught it from Suffolk for 1,000c
with the King's consent, on cordition that the plac^ should be open
to him and his at all times ; that during the treaty with the French,
Henry offered to treat with him for it, so that he should lose
nothing. De Lignes, however, refused to listen, and Henry ha*
written to Madame and the Council, for the answers to which
letters the Chamberlain is now waiting. If the King Catholic does
not compel his vassal to do right, Ilemy will be obliged by the
treaty to assist in recovering Mortaigne.

The Chamberlain also said that the King of France was friendly
to the King Catholic, and that Madame and the Council should
endeavor to bring De Lignes to reason. On leaving Paris, he will
go to Tonmaj to make ihe surrender, and after that, if De Lignes
still remain obstinate, Henrj will be obliged to send sufficient force
to fulfil his promise. The Chamberlain said that De Lignes boasts
the Emperor and Robert de la Marche will come and assist him with
40,000 men. That the Emperor would do so was of course untrue,
as he is bound by treaties ; and as to De la Marche, Henry does not
believe it. He then expressed his obligations to the King Catholic,
and said that Henry was well disposed to De Lignes, and would do
everything in reason. The Grand Master has just come in, and says
that the French King wiU do nothing at all prejudicial to the King
Catholic or his subjects, and is going to send to Madame and the
Council to inform them of Marshal Chatillon's mission to Toumay,
and to ask for a safeconduct for his band, paying for what they want.
If De Lignes does not listen to reason, they will lend the King of
England 200 or 300 lances to place in Saint Amand and the neigh-
bourhood. Thinks it will be very dangerous if they come to blows.
Paris, Thursday, 23 Dec. 1518.

with the '^ conmiission made unto [his] holiness (id ratifieandas

serted Salvis aliis omnibus which it is. He exonerates

Wolsey from neglect in writing to his [ambassadors], of which
complaint is made, and attributes it to the wind and weather.
From the same cause neither the King nor Wolsey received Pace's
acknowledgment of their reception in Paris. The King approves
of Wolsey's advice to send no more [persons] to Toumay than
those deputed. The rest may return home. The French letters
are undated: has left the seals with William Edwards. Green-

the Emperor and the King of Castile should be included, con-

as large as any Queen of France ever had ; to which Francis has
bound himself under the censures of the Church ; and in this
treaty the interests of the King of CastUo have been provided for.

March. 7. Suffolk to Wolsey.

R. O. Sends this letter in all haste. Wolsey will see by the letters from

us (Suffolk and Mary) to the King that they have done their best to
follow his advice about the plate of gold and jewels. Wolsey will
perceive how it stands, " the wyche is past me lemeng ; and therfor
as tochyng wyedder sche have ryth or no I cannot tyell." Seeing
there was some great difficulty, made the best friends he could to per-
suade Francis, if she had no right, not to deal with her to the extremitj«
Is assured he will be content to give her half the plate of gold,* in
value 50,000 crowns, and jewels to the same value, which should be
half the jewels, on condition that the King and his Council
acknowledge that she has no right to it, and that he does it only out
of good will to the King and her. Begs that the jewel he sent by
Richmond may be returned ; Francis's Queen has such a mind to it,
he will never be satisfied without it, <' for it is the same that is said
should never go from the Queens of France." " Me lord, at the
rywarenes (reverence) of God, helpe that I may by marred as I
goo howth of Franche oponlye, for mannc thynes the wycb I wyell
awartes you by men nexte lettares." All his trust is in Wolsey.

As to the bishopric of Toumay, Francis promised yesternight
'' on his faith in my hand " that he would make the other give it up
to Wolsey in all haste, and declared he would not stick with Wolsey
for ten of the best bishoprics in France. Thinks Wolsey will
acknowledge he has done his part. Doubts not Wolsey and him-
self will bring I^Vancis over to the King's mind. ^' Me lor, wat soo

P.S. — The French King wishes to have the meeting in May, and
will make pastime with his grace, in harness or without, as he pleases.

Since the I8th Oct. 1514 (1513), when he parted from the King it
Ypres, the King has advanced to him 600/., including this last mi;
and on the last day of May next 600 days will have been Mj
completed. Begs therefore leave to return. His own affitirs an
suffering by his absence and the death of his steward a twelf^
month past. If he had more than one Englishman in his serm
here would long ere this have sent one to look after them. Tk
Romans used to delight in seeing men fight with swords, and bad
always people who gloried in giving and receiving wounds. Wbei
these men could hardly stand they would send to their lords to kaov
if tliey were satisfied, or would have them die in the field. If tfce
King be not satisfied with what he has done and suffered, ia ntij

July. 12. Henry VIIL to Pope [Leo X.]

ICaitene, Moo. Has received a very particular account from the Abp. of York

III. 1296. ( Wolsey) of the message sent by the Pope to the Archbishop through

the Bishop of Worcester. Is grateful for the Pope's good will.
Begs his Holiness will pay the same regard to what Wolsey shall
say as if it proceeded from the lips of the King himself. Returns
the Pope " huge thanks " for his attention to the dignity of Wolsey
(the Cardinalate). The King is extremely anxious for it, and looks
forward with most burning desire to that day on which he shall
see Wolsey advanced to the honor of the Cardinalate, for his genius,
learning, and many admirable qualities. Begs the Pope to hasten
it forward to the utmost.

caused the last rebellion. Wrote to his lordship on the 25th Nov.
touching the matter of Richard de la Pole, how it might he done,
and can see no other way. Is urgent to know the King's pleasure
with regard to it, having promised the gentleman who waa to take
the enterprise an answer within a month, which expires on WediKs*

let the King's enemies have their will. Reconmiends that the
following person s^ be excluded from the King's pardon ; viz., John
Pakeman and John Cowley, who have scaped to Flanders, said tc
be the principal beginners of the rebellion ; Gilbert Tomson, one

desire that he shall purpose the said confederation u

doing shall write largely and encourage the good and put the
[others in J despair." On Wingfield expressing Henry's hope " that
there should come authority to him both [from the Emperor and the
Kin]g of Arragon to couclude for their pQarts]," and urging him to
send his commission and instructions quickly, [the Emperor
replied] that he had sent the former long since, and that he had
prepared the latter and would send them speedily ; that he was

glad to hear that the lo for the said authority from

the Pope, but feared his holiness would make long delay ; that he
had great faitli in the King of Arragon's disposition towards the
common weal, and desired the King to keep urging him to be more
[earnest] .... than he hath been, for the firm union of the three
powers.

'^ Also where your grace wrote to think much expedient that
them[peror should write] to the Popo^ moving and stering him
to condysc[end to the confede]ration in that matter, I moved his
majesty, a[ud he said that he had] written divers times to him in

Italy his holi[ne8s] * ♦ ♦ [kni]ght

and a preacher : to all which I have [m]uch dissonaunte to

the motions that they have , which (as me seem-

eth) hath not been so acceptable [to the spiritual p]eerys as to the
temporal, though in the same was a dis-
course of such French peaces and truces as our [former kings] and

nation have proved not a few times in 400 years

. . . ri]aste continuing the same unto this last. And because that I
have [perceive]de the said knight, which is right honorable and
wise, much inclined to further the desired purpose, because he per-
ceiveth well that, and it may be brought about, the weal, tranquillity
and peace of Christendom must needs proceed of the same or at
the least take course with the same, I have at the same time moved
the Emperor to send the said knight secretly to the Pope for the
said cause, and [his] majesty hath granted • • * [The] said
knight's name is Sir John George, wherefore I esteem [him one
that should be] found much more devout and affectionate to Saint
George [than J to Saint Denis." Wingfield this day spake with the
Cardinal of Gource, who has written to the Emperor to ftirther
the sending forth of the said knight, with whom Wingfield had
also spoken ; and tomorrow the knight goes to the Emperor about
the matter.

While Wingfield was with the Emperor he received a com-
mission from the Cardinal of Sion and Mr. Pace, by which they
ordained that the whole sum (above that which they had already
received) should be conveyed as quickly as possible to a town
of the Emperor's not far from the head of the Rhine, called
Felkyrke ; for they have appointed the captains and given them
money, with order to bring such numbers as they have appointed to

the said town to be mustered and paid month's wages

. . . been possible to have attained the King's money he

he alone hath provided 60,000 florins, whereof 40,000 [are sent] to

Constance. At the beginning was the salvation of

that wo go about." Recommends a letter of thanks to be written
to him. {Here follows a very mutilated passage.)

'J'hanks Wolsey for his gracious ofl'ers, and his promise to be a
mediator in all his causes, *^for though I am now and have long con-
tinued in this country with expences far above my power, yet now my
going with the Emperor into Italy should not fail to make the beast
fall that linth Iteen long overcharged; for the said country hath been
so haalyd, or rather destroyed, by the great armies which have so
long continued in the same, that I am full feared that we shall
scantily find victual for men and horses for any money ; and also,
though whilst the Em|H»ror maketh war in Italy against the French,
I int<»ud not to wear but secret harness, vet as soon as he shall be
determined to enter into France I will not fail to be armed and all

Was detained by the Prince's Chancellor three days at Ghent, —

and dangerous, but rapid. The vessel which he entrusted to
brother Francis is not come to baud ; nothing could be more un-
fortunate. It contained all his commentaries on St. Jerome, and
unless he receives them in time, the printers at Basle will atop
working. If this was an accident, it was most unfortunate ; if done
by design that " his " Old Proverbs should appear first, it was most
unfriendly. ''Exhibi turns eram episcopis suos libros ; eos nunc

and the sooner the better; for if the Lord de Lygne go into Spain,
or the garrison be once diminished, it will be hard to come by.
The King's works here go well forward. As the King wishes him
to remain for a season, will devote* himself to his service, to which
he is the more encouraged by Wolsey \s favor. Begs that his
annuity may be renewed, as the King put him in comfort thereof at
his departing and since by his letters — During this holy time of
Lent now past, a commission arrived from the Pope with a brief

as soon as he had the money from the Archbishop he would arrange
for its payment to Erasmus. More told him that Erasmus had re-
ceived notice from the Archbishop of its payment; on which Maruffo,
in a fright, gave More a bond for the money, took the letters of
Erasmus us a security, and wrote to the Archbishop for prompt
repayment, as he had ^Iready been some tinie out of pocket by
advancing the money to Erasmus. Gives an amusing account of
the interview with the Archbishop and Maruffo's discomfiture. For

R. O. Wrote in his laj?t how the Swiss were driven to a treaty with

France on hearing of the peace between France and the King of
Arragon (Charles). Nevertheless they wait an answer from the
King,with money for the expedition to expel the French from Italy,
which will at once put an end to all treating with the French.
Hears (jonstantly that the French only keep Milan because they have
no enemy to drive them out. The Bastard of Savoy, observing the
effect of this peace between France and Arragon, endeavoured to
get two articles included in the treaty, viz. that the Swiss should
bind themselves to aid France against England, and that England
should be expressly excluded. Heard of this by secret friends.
Desired open audience in the Great Council, and told them it was

refuse the demands of the Bastard. The Council sftid thej woqM
discuss the matter among themselves, and give Pace answer at \k
own house next day. This they did accord ingly, saying tlMT
thanked the Kin^ for liis constant support ; that they would dder
the peace wit]i France, and command tlieir ambassadors deputed to
tlio next diet '* to treat nothing upon any peace, but to stick only
upon this thing, for to have the scaIs of tlie 8 cantons granted
unto the French King for the false confederation made betwixt
him and the said 8 cantons an year past. And they hftfe
written to all other their adherents to do the same." If the King's
resolution to make the enterprise come in the meantime, alltrettin|r
with the French is at an end for ever. As to the Bastard of
Savoy's demand, if it be made they will sooner expressly indode
than exclude the King. If France obtain the desired peace it viD
cost him 1,000,000 crowns within five years, of which 300,000
must be paid immediately. He will also have to renounce certuB

K. o. Sir Rob. Wingfield has sent to a " friend of mine " a letter con-

taining a clause, which he endorses. Desires him to ponder the
contents, and order himself accordingly. He is to ask Wingfield
what he means by the obscure words therein, " sounding more to
the hindrance than the advancement of the King's matters,** If be
knew anything to the King's prejudice, he should have first adver-
tised the King and you, and not have concealed it by obscnre
words, whomever it touched. It is likely that the admonitions of
Sion and Gurk, which [Wolsey] mentioned in his last, "did pro-

Vit B. X. 70. Headed : " Privatim ad B. D. Cardinalem pertinentia."

B. M. The Pope complains of Wolsey 's hindering the coadjutorship of

Aloisius de Russis, in the abbey of St. Martin, Tournay, saying
that the Popes have always had the free disposal of benefices in
that city, where the Pragmatic usurped in France has never been
in use. Replied, that it was a delicate subject, and no wonder if
Wolsey looked well who filled the benefices there. The Pope said
no one should be proctor to De Rossi who did not satisfy Wolsey.
Worcester said he would write, but the Pope must also satisfy
Wolsey in regard to the administration, as he had only the name
of bishop, and the Pope had refused the brief except upon con-
ditions which made it altogether nugatory. The Pope said he
would grant it if the Cardinal would gratify his cousin. If Wolsey
will do this, and send a copy of the brief desired, Worcester thinks
he can obtain it.

The Pope intends to send ambassadors to England with indul-
gences for the building of St. Peter's, as he has done to France,

and take order that the English be not henceforth molested in
peaceably occupying the said ground by day as they have been
accustomed to do time out of mind. Has also devised letters upon

crowns.

Has received letters from De la Guyse, dated at Bone the
12th (?) of this instant month, the effect of which is, ''after many
fa3met and glorious words," that his master desires amity with the
King and universal peace, and will give Henry 900,000 francs for
Tournay, '' which, after my accompt, esteeming the franc at 2s. 2d*
sterling, as 1 think it verily is,* and have of other expert folks
learned the franc to be no more worth, amounteth to the sum of
100,000/. sterling, so that after that valuation 900 [thousand]
francs is 100,000/. of your money. If the franc be esteemed at
2s. 6d.y 900,000 maketh 100,010/." f By no valuation does this
amount to the 560,000 crowns demanded by the King. Has, there-
fore, made answer that unless the French King will agree to that
sum he dare press the King no further. "There remaineth no
more in demand but the discharge of the garrison, which I assure
your grace woU be sufl&ciently done with 8,000/. (corrected from
10,000/.) sterling ; howbeit, we demand for the said discharge
60,000 crowns, which is in sterling money 12,000/. Thus briefly
I have signified to your grace the corapendy of your outward mat-
ters; and for your realm, our Lord be thanked, it was never in such
peace nor tranquillity; for all this summer 1 have had nother of
reyut (riot), felony, ne forcible entry, but that your laws be in every
place indifferently ministered without leaning of any manner.
Aibeit there hath lately, as 1 am informed, been a fray betwixt
Pygot your serjeant and Sir Andrew Windsor's servants, for the
seisin of a ward whereto both they pretend titles : in the which
fray one man was slain. I trust at the next term to learn them
[the] law of the Star Chamber, that they shall ware how from
thenceforth they shall redress their matter with their hands. They
be both learned in the temporal law, and I doubt not good example
shall ensue to see them learn the new law of the Star Chamber,
which. Good willing, they shall have indifferently ministered to them
according to their deserts." Desires to be recommended to the
Queen.

39. [ALAMIRE] to WOLSET.

K. O. Although Wolsej has treated him harshly (austere et dure udm-

tavit\ will tell him all that he hears and sees. A servant d*
Richard de la Pole came to his house, and asked him ahont Ba^
Nagel. On Alamire asking whence he came, he said from England.
He is named Thomas Standeli, and is a bastard of that Lord
Chamberlain (Sir William Stanley) who was beheaded by the kte
King. He had letters which he had received in England, and sud
that Latimer was taken by the King on the ground (ear parte) tb^
he was going to treat with De la Pole's friends. The Kii^ of
Denmark has the best understanding {habet maximum imtellectum)
with Richard de la Pole. They have bound themselves to eaah
other by oaths and letters. Alamire himself was widi De la Yck't
secretary, who showed him sealed letters of the Sling of Denmark,
offering to give him 20,000 men and Scots in great number. ^ Ites
ille rex Dacie vult accipere illam totam societatem qui est i^t
ducem Geldrensem." There was an Englishman with De la Pak,
who brought him letters from some lords in England; but De la P<^
distrusted him, and would not give him a written answer, althoogfa
he pressed much to have one. Thinks it was on this account
De la Pole sent his servant into England. (" £t ex parte hoc credo
quod Richardus misit suum famulum(?) secrete in Anglia, sicct
ipse famulus mihi met dixit.") In his [late] letters wrote more
fully to the King. Had not much time to write, as the post wanted
to start immediately.

Is much surprised he has had no acknowledgment of the five
music books, one of them written on parchment, 8 comets, '^et
multas cordas supra lutinas " which he gave the King. Has beeo
at great expence, "et sum ita pauper quod nunquam qua» hV*
Was much provoked when he wrote to the King (tn litera regis fin
maxime iratus\ but hopes Wolsey will not be displeased.
, The Duke of Albany will soon go to Scotland, " et in sccreto

/ haberet armigeros." The King of France is intriguing agminsi

England, and with the Duke of Gueldres. Asked Stanley how far
he was from London: he said 40 miles. Hopes none of De la Pole's
friends will get nearer.

Stapleton, His last letters were the most delightful he ever received from

Vit T. Mori, iiim^ as they spoke so highly of his Republic ( Utopia), Trusts they

^^^' ' * were as sincere as candid. Had asked Erasmus to give Tunstal an

account of it, but forbade him to insist on his reading it ; not because
he did not desire it, but because Tunstal himself had so wisely de-
termined not to undertake anything new before he had completed
his reading of old authors ; which task, if it be measured by what
he has done, Tunstal should be an old man by this time ; if by what
he aims at, he will never complete it. Was afraid, among his many
avocations, he would not have time for such trifles, nor could he
have done so except out of partiality. Is glad he is pleased with
the work, and not less for his candid advice.

brutes. He could not observe without regret that so few men of
that religion applied themselves to study, and expressed his deter-
mination to found a college for the Order, the members of which
should give themselves exclusively to learning. Certain fines were
imposed on priors of Houses, for bad management of property and
disobedience. Accounts received from the different visitors as to the
state of the Religious Houses. As night came on, the meeting was
prorogued till Tuesday at 7 in the morning. " Qua bora adveniente

manibus et digitis, mi serabi liter cum lachrymis gennfiectente et

tissimi patrls nostri Augustini confessionalia et scripta, quam alia

a seipso esse satisfoctum." After other business auditors were
appointed for the accounts of the building of St. Mary's College,
Oxford, of their own receivers and of those of the Cardinal.

Wednesday, reports of the visitors ; and tiianks were ordered to
the Cardinal for his letter, who was admitted as a confrere of the

28 Aug. 61. WoLSEY to Henry VIII.

R« O. Has notified to the King, by his secretary and by Thomas More,

such occurrences as were at that time. Has received letters of the
arrival of the Bp. of Paris at Sandwich on Thursday last, of which
he was also informed by Villeroy. Told Villeroy that the fact of
the ambassadors arriving separately seemed to indicate some dis-
trust, but was assured to the contrary. The Bishop had only
delayed his passage, being aged and afraid of the sea ; and the
longer tarrying of the Admiral was in consequence of having in his
train so many noblemen; a. great part of whose names Wolsey en-
closes. Has ordered the Bp. of Paris to come to Gravesend, where
a barge will meet him, to bring him up to London. Has sent to
Calais, and taken directions for their reception there, and transport-
ing into England. Everything requisite shall be ready. Certain
privy practices have been set on foot to hinder Henry's communica-
tions with the French' King. Will tell him more of them on Henry's
return to Eltham. Has prevented their foolish purpose, so that all
he has concluded with Villeroy shall succeed.

62. Wolsey to Henry VIII.

B. O. Since the arrival of the Bp. of Paris, has had much conmiunica-

tion with him on the matters concluded with Villeroy. He objects
to the Emperor and the King of Castile being principal contrahents
in the new treaty, as they never made any request for it, and the
Emperor might be encouraged to make new quarrels with the Princes
of Germany, by which Henry and the other allies would be con-
tinually called upon for money. Insisted that the Emperor might
be displeased if he were not made a principal contrahent, and .the
treaty might lead to war instead of peace. Debated the matter so
long with the Bp. and Villeroy that they were near breaking off
communication. Tliey have, however, agreed to have both the Em-
peror and the King Catholic principal contrahents. Has also ob-
tained for the King payment of 50,000 marks before the marriage
more than he should have had by the conclusion between Wolsey
and Villeroy, with better conditions touching Scotland. They say
the Admiral will repair to the King with as much diligence as
possible, and they expect to hear every hour of his arrival at Calais,

but the winds have been so stormy these two or three dftjrs tint m

Inquired of the order of receiving the Pope's legate in Fnnee.
The Bishop of Paris told him he had been present at the delibe-
rations of the French Council on the matter, and had seen them put
in execution. The legate was accompanied all through France hj
noblemen, and conducted through every town by processions tifl
within ten miles of Anjou, where the King was. There the bLshopi
saluted him, and they accompanied him to within two miles of
Anjou, where the Duke of Urbino, and all the nobles withoik
exception, received him, and conducted him to Anjou. There ha
was received in procession by the spiritualties. There was gnU
discussion whether the pall or canopy should be borne over him ii
the King's presence, which was at last decided in the affirmatiT&
He was conveyed to the cathedral, and thence to his lodging, hf
all the nobles, who also attended him to his audience at the tias
appointed at the castle of Anjou. The King met him at a distuee
from the castle on horseback, saluted and embraced him, and pro-
ceeded with him to the castle, the legate on his right hand. In the
same order they came to the French King's chamber, where wen
two chairs set, one against the other ; and private audience mi
given without any oration being made, as was done here. Tlte
same order was observed on the second and third day, till tbe
legate himself requested that the attendance of the nobles might be
dispensed with.
